ONE DISH CHICKEN AND BOWS



One Dish Chicken and Bows image

I love this meal for it's ease and down home goodness. You can make this one dish meal in less than 30 minutes. It's pretty too! You could substitute chopped carrots for the red pepper if you'd prefer. It reminds me of chicken pot pie without the 'pie'. Comfort! It makes A LOT so you can serve half of it and freeze the other half for a quick dinner some other night. From Simple & Delicious courtesy of Danette Forbes. *NOTE: this recipe does not include many spices, etc.. It is meant to be a comfort food type of recipe. If you enjoy spice, go ahead and throw some in!! This recipe is also versatile in terms of what veggies you like. Have fun with it. :)

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Season Your Chicken Generously: Don't be afraid to season your chicken with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Cook the Chicken Thoroughly: Make sure that the chicken is cooked all the way through before you serve it. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the taste of your dish. Try to use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcook the Pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Add the Pasta to the Sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the sauce and stir to combine. This will help to coat the pasta with the sauce and ensure that it is evenly flavored.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Just before serving, garnish your dish with fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or cilantro. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Chicken and bows is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
