Chicken Primavera

Chicken Primavera

You will need 1 recipe of Garlic Cream Sauce

which includes:

Olive oil

1 T flour
1/2 t minced garlic
1/2 cup white wine
1/3 cup frozen chopped spinach
2 cups half and half
1 to 1-1/2 cups shredded Parmesan (not the stuff in the shaker)


3-4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
olive oil
salt and pepper
1/2 onion
1/2 green pepper
1/2 yellow pepper
6 ounces of your favorite cooked pasta (I used Tinkyada brand Penne for our GF version)
1 cup Italian blend cheese or mozzarella

Cut chicken breast so they are even thickness and take the tips off. Save the extra bits for another dish.

Add to a bowl with a little bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Coat evenly and then grill.  Cut into chunks.

Dice or chop your veggies and saute in a little bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are soft.  You can use other favorite veggies like zucchini and yellow squash, broccoli.  Ideas are unlimited.  If  your kids don't like those then dice them finer.  I am not a fan of zucchini or the squash but I can tolerate them cut small. :)

Mix together your cooked pasta, cooked chicken chunks and veggies and the sauce.

Spread into a baking dish and

cover with cheese.  Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees or until cheese is brown and dish is bubbly hot.

** Don't see the green?  No worries its not your eyes, I didn't have any spinach in the freezer to use last night. Another note...I used 8 oz pasta and the pasta soaked up too much sauce and was a little drier than I like. So either use more sauce/milk or use less pasta. I am currently freezing the 2nd recipe I made and will let you know how it turns out!
