Pasta Wchicken Veggies And Alfredo Pesto Papillote Foil Pack Recipes

CHICKEN PESTO PASTA WITH VEGGIES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
• In the mean time, core, seed and slice the bell peppers into thin strips and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil until hot and sauté the peppers, onions and asparagus over medium-high heat until softened but still crisp, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer cooked vegetables to a large mixing bowl and add the chicken and sun-dried tomatoes. Toss with 1/2 cup of the pesto and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Once the water boils, cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente (per package instructions). Drain, return to the pot and toss with the remaining pesto and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Mound the cooked pasta on a large serving dish (or 4 individual serving plates) and top with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (or more to taste). Serve immediately.

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE PENNE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Boil pasta according to package instructions (except I only used 1/2 Tbsp salt). Drain cooked pasta and mix in 1 1/2 tbsp butter so the noodles don't stick to each other.
• Season chicken with salt, pepper and your favorite seasoning such as Mrs. Dash. Grill or saute your seasoned chicken until fully cooked. Let it rest to cool down slightly, then slice it against the grain.
• Heat a deep/large skillet over medium/high heat. Toss in 1 Tbsp butter and a couple Tbsp olive oil. Sautee sliced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms and finely diced onions until soft (about 8 min).
• Once the veggies are cooked, stir in the pasta, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cooked chicken and mix well. Pour in 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (if using) and 3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese. Stir to combine. Set the pan back over the heat and heat everything thoroughly stirring several times until the sauce is creamy and cheese is melted.
