Chicken And Peas With Pasta Recipes

ONE-POT CREAMY CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PASTA WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms and saute for 7-8 minutes, until onions are tender and the mushrooms have released most of their liquid.
• Add garlic, salt and pepper and saute for another 30 seconds.
• Add pasta and chicken broth and bring to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 8-10 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is nearly cooked. I lift the lid and stir it once or twice during the cooking time so the pasta gets moved around and can cook evenly.
• Add cream cheese and mozzarella cheese and stir until melted and well combined. You can add an extra splash of chicken broth if needed to get everything to mix well.
• Add thawed peas and shredded chicken and stir to combine. Turn off heat, cover and let sit for a few minutes.
• Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Serve with fresh chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese (if using).

PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND PEAS

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook fettuccine until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain; set aside.

• Remove from heat. Add pasta and cheese; season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Garnish with more cheese, if desired.

LEMON HERB CHICKEN PASTA WITH GREEN PEAS, SNAP PEAS AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain the pasta and set aside.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and slice it into strips.
• Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Add the garlic and shallot and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and sugar snap peas and cook, 2 minutes. Add the reserved pasta water and the frozen peas. Cook until the peas are just cooked through, 2 minutes more.
• Add the cooked pasta, spinach, sliced chicken, chopped basil, chopped parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toss all the ingredients together to coat, season with additional salt and pepper and garnish with parsley leaves. Serve immediately.
