This recipe was really good and so easy! You'll impress all your guests if you serve this one. I could not locate the Philly Cream Josee calls for in my grocery store, so I substituted with a sundried tomato & basil spreadable cheese.

BASIL CHICKEN AND PASTA



Basil Chicken and Pasta image

This is a great quick meal; the chicken and sauce can be prepared in the time it takes to cook the pasta. You can add more cream or less pasta if you like it creamier. Try ziti or farfalle pasta to add even more variety to this recipe. The leftovers don't heat very well, so eat it all up the first time!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp Parmesan cheese will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. It should be cooked al dente, which means it should be slightly firm to the bite.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce immediately after it is cooked. This will help the pasta absorb the sauce and flavors.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Chicken Parmesan is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
