Categories     Main Dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 package (13.25 oz) whole wheat penne pasta
1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 small onion, diced (1/2 cup diced)
1 clove garlic, minced
5 ounces fresh baby kale
1 jar (7 oz) julienne cut sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained (oil reserved!) and patted dry
3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
1 cup milk (2% or whole)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • If baking immediately, preheat oven to 350°F. Otherwise, begin on step 2.
  • Spray a 9X13 or larger baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta to al dente according to package directions. Drain when finished cooking.
  • Meanwhile, in a large deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of reserved sun dried tomato oil (or olive oil) and add chicken and onions. Saute until chicken is cooked through and onions are translucent, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add kale and sundried tomatoes and cook until kale is wilted, stirring frequently. Add cream cheese, milk, and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and cook until cream cheese is melted and incorporated. Add pasta and stir to coat pasta with all other ingredients. Pour into prepared baking dish and top with mozzarella cheese.
  • If baking immediately, place in preheated oven and cook for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted. If you like a softer noodle, cover with foil during baking.
  • If freezing, cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil and place in freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, remove plastic and cover with foil. Place in cold oven and turn oven to 350°F. Bake for 45 minutes covered and then uncover and continue baking for 30 minutes longer or until heated through.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces bow tie pasta (1 box)
4 Tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves (finely minced or pressed through a garlic press)
½ Tablespoon dried basil
8 ounces cream cheese (softened and cut into small cubes)
8 ounces sun dried tomatoes (1 jar, rinsed, drained and chopped)
2 cups milk
8 ounces parmesan cheese (grated)
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt (more to taste if needed)
1 cup chicken (cooked and cubed)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. While it's cooking, prepare the sauce.
  • In a medium pot or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring the whole time. Stir in the dried basil. Add the cream cheese, stirring with a whisk until the mixture is smooth. It will look curdled at first, but with constant whisking for 2-3 minutes, it will become a smooth creamy paste. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Keep cooking over medium heat and add the milk and whisk quickly and constantly until it is blended into the sauce. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, pepper and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is the desired consistency, 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve over hot, cooked noodles. I put my chicken on top, or you can mix it in.
