Quick Garlic and Herb Chicken Pasta Toss for #SundaySupper and #SauteExpress
Author: Katie Compton
Ingredients
2 Sauté Express® Garlic and Herb squares
1 large chicken breast, cut into strips
1 cup red bell pepper, diced
3 cups broccoli florets
2 cups uncooked pasta (I used rotini)
2 tablespoons chicken stock or chicken broth
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Heat a large nonstick pan over medium low heat. Add 1 square of Sauté Express® and wait until it begins to bubble and sizzle in the pan. Add the chicken breast slices and saute for 5-6 minutes until cooked through.
Meanwhile, fill a stock pot with water for the pasta and heat over high on the stove until boiling. Add a pinch of salt and the 2 cups of uncooked pasta. Cook according to package directions, then strain the noodles and set aside.
As the chicken and pasta are cooking, add the broccoli and red pepper to a microwave safe container (preferably a vegetable steaming container) with 1-2 tablespoons of water. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, then drain the container of excess water. Set aside.
When the chicken strips are cooked through, add the chicken stock/chicken broth to the pan. If any of the Sauté Express® has stuck to the pan, the chicken stock will release it. Then, add the second cube of Sauté Express® to the pan and allow it to melt.
Toss the steamed vegetables to the pan and stir a few times to combine. Then, add the drained pasta noodles to the pan and stir to combine. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and continue tossing the pasta for a minute or two to allow the flavors to incorporate. Serve while hot - enjoy!
