Provided by Kathryn Doherty

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
8 oz. button mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (1 lb.) box penne pasta (whole wheat, regular or gluten free are fine)
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 oz. plain cream cheese (I use 1/3 reduced fat)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (10 oz.) bag frozen peas, thawed
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (see notes)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

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).

Tips for Making Chicken and Peas with Pasta

  • Choose the right pasta. For this dish, a short pasta like penne or rotini works best. The pasta should be able to hold the sauce well.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. To achieve al dente pasta, cook it for 1-2 minutes less than the package directions.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches.
  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables are a good substitute.
  • Season to taste. Be sure to season your dish to taste. This means adding salt, pepper, and other spices until the dish reaches the desired flavor.

Conclusion

Chicken and peas with pasta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a budget-friendly meal.
