Chicken Pasta

1 to 1 1/2 bags bowtie pasta cooked al dente
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts - cut off all the nasty fat and out all the veins
Put chicken in frying pan and sprinkle garlic, cumin, and basil over top. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth.   On medium heat cook until chicken is not longer pink. Remove chicken from pan and place on cutting board. Once chicken is cool enough to touch, chop into smaller bite size pieces.

3 tsp of chopped garlic
1-2 tsp olive oil
1 Jonathon apple - chopped up fine
3 tomatoes - chopped
3 green peppers - chopped
2 handfuls of broccoli - chopped
2 Tbsp mango salsa
In the chicken pan, saute the garlic in the olive oil for 1-2 minutes on medium heat. Add rest of the ingredients, the chopped chicken and saute until the peppers are al dente. (soft but still have a little crunch)

Sauce:
4 tsp spicy brown mustard
4 tsp Seven Seas Green Goddess dressing
2 Tbsp real lime juice
2 Tbsp real lemon juice
3 Tbsp Onion Vinaigrette Salad dressing
1/2 8oz pkg cream cheese
2 Tbsp butter
1 bottle creamy alfredo sauce
Mix all ingredients together in a sauce pan. Add your favorite spices to sprinkle on top. I used cumin, basil, and a dash of sea salt.

In a large bowl combine pasta and the chicken "stuff". Pour sauce over the top and mix well. Serve immediately.

  1. This recipe obviously makes a lot of food. Just half the recipe if you are making this for a smaller family. I like to make a lot even though the family is dropping in size at the house because I like to have leftovers for lunch and who knows when Rob and Mark will stop by and clean out the fridge. I love having enough food for them and anyone else who needs something good to eat.

  2. This is another recipe that I made up the other night for dinner. I was hungry and I really wanted pasta with chicken so I started opening the fridge and seeing what I could add together to make it taste good.
    When making the sauce, just use whatever good dressings you have in your fridge.
    This was a great meal. If you don't want pasta you can also use this on rice. It tastes great either way.
