Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
1 lb boneless skinless chicken, cut into pieces
4 green onions, sliced
2 tart cooking apples, thinly sliced
1 pinch ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1/2 cup dried cranberries
12 ounces whole wheat penne
chopped fresh chives, to top with
grated sharp cheddar cheese, to top with

Steps:

  • In a large skillet sprayed with cooking spray, brown the chicken strips in batches and then transfer into a bowl.
  • Spray skillet again, and add green onions, apples, nutmeg, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring for about 3 minutes to soften.
  • Add vinegar, scraping any bits stuck to pan.
  • Stir in evaporated milk and cranberries, bringing to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring often, for about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook whole wheat pasta for about 10 minutes or until at your desired tenderness. Drain and return to the pot.
  • Add chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce; simmer for about three minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside.
  • Pour over pasta and toss to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper.
  • Serve sprinkled with chives and with cheddar cheese in side dish to top with, along with a side salad and bread. Dont let it sit to long in pot before serving -- the pasta will absorb the sauce.
