Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

300g wholemeal penne
2 tsp olive oil
2 peppers (we used 1 yellow and 1 orange), deseeded and chopped
1 large courgette (160g), coarsely grated
3 large garlic cloves, finely grated
500g carton passata
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1½ tsp vegetable bouillon powder
1 tsp chilli powder (optional)
25g Kalamata olives (about 8), sliced
400g chicken breasts (2 large), cut into pieces
large handful of basil, chopped, plus extra to serve
100g ricotta
20g finely grated mature cheddar

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and fry the peppers for 8 mins, stirring until they start to soften. Add the courgette and garlic, stir for a few minutes more, then tip in the passata and stir in the smoked paprika, bouillon, chilli, if using, and olives. Simmer for 3-4 mins.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving the pasta water. Tip the pasta into the passata mixture along with the chicken, half a mug of the pasta water and the basil. Stir together well, then tip into baking dish.
  • Mix the ricotta in a bowl with 5 tbsp of the pasta water and spread across the top of the pasta. Sprinkle over the cheddar, then bake for 35 mins. Scatter with a few extra basil leaves, if you like, and serve.

HEALTHY CREAMY CHICKEN AND PASTA



Healthy Creamy Chicken and Pasta image

Being on a diet, the words creamy and pasta usually are reserved for only my cheat days. I wanted to make something and not feel guilty about eating it, so I whipped this up in the kitchen. It's delicious and very adaptable; change it up however you like! Has a nice little bite with the red pepper flakes added. This would also be fantastic with onion added.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (8 ounce) package whole wheat penne pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 (10.5 ounce) can fat-free cream of mushroom soup
½ cup water, or as needed
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Cook and stir olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over high heat just until brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add chicken and mushrooms; stir to coat with garlic and olive oil. Cook chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in cream of mushroom soup; gradually add 1/2 cup of water about 1 tablespoon at a time, adding enough to make sauce light and creamy.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low heat and gently fold pasta into the chicken and sauce until coated. Add garlic salt and red pepper to taste; remove from heat and serve.

12 HEALTHY CHICKEN PASTA RECIPES THAT'LL STREAMLINE YOUR DINNER …

From camillestyles.com
  • Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo from Gimme Delicious. Why We Love It: Alfredo’s known for packing in all the delicious, but nap-inducing, ingredients. This recipe subs in a mix of stock and lighter milk for the butter and heavy cream (plus a small handful of parmesan—you can’t not add it in).
  • Healthy Chicken Stroganoff With Mushrooms from Bowl of Delicious. Why We Love It: Growing up, chicken stroganoff was the retro dish my family would make without fail every time it snowed (and snow in New England, it definitely did).
  • Lemon Chicken Pasta from This Healthy Table. Why We Love It: I’m a bit lemon obsessed. The citrus is my go-to when I’m wanting to brighten up a dish. I love the spring-y flavor it gives this Lemon Ricotta Poundcake and it never fails to bring me joy zested atop my all-time favorite easy weeknight dinner.
  • Healthy Chicken Piccata from Healthy Seasonal Recipes. Why We Love It: I love the briny, peppery, and slightly acidic trifecta of flavor that capers, white wine, and parsley brings.
  • Easy One Dish Chicken Pasta. Why We Love It: One dish and one pot recipes are my weeknight secret weapons. As someone who doesn’t have a dishwasher (and totally hates doing dishes), I try to strategize and make clean-up as easy and painless as possible.
  • One Pot Creamy Mediterranean Chicken Pasta from The Modern Proper. Why We Love It: Here’s where some people might take my definition of healthy into question.
  • Easy Chicken Pesto Pasta from The Preppy Kitchen. Why We Love It: The verdant, warmer spring weather is the perfect opportunity to make pesto. I love welcoming the shift in seasons with plenty of fresh herbs that are made all the better with pasta and parmesan.
  • Tomato Spinach Chicken Spaghetti from Julia’s Album. Why We Love It: Like many of my favorite foods (soup, smoothies, and grain bowls counted among them), pasta gives you a great foundation for incorporating nutrition-boosting veggies.
  • Lemon Chicken Kale Pasta from For the Love of Gourmet. Why We Love It: Sometimes, recipes only seem to include kale as an afterthought. (“Oh, I haven’t eaten a green today?
  • Spaghetti Squash Carbonara from The Real Simple Good Life. Why We Love It: I’ll be candid: For years and years, I haven’t understood the obsession with spaghetti squash.
