December Meal-Creamy Bow~Tie Pasta with Chicken by Becca

Creamy Bow~Tie Pasta with Chicken by Becca


Ingredients:

3 cups (8 oz.) Farfalle (bow-tie pasta) uncooked

4 cups broccoli florets

3 Tbs. Kraft Roasted Red Pepper Italian with Parmesan Dressing

6 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves

1 tsp. minced garlic ( I bought it in the tiny jar.)

2 cups tomato-basil spaghetti sauce

4 oz. (1/2 of 8 oz. pkg.) Philadelphia Cream Cheese

1/4 cup Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese


Assembly:

Boil pasta and broccoli about 5 minutes. Drain completely and transfer to freezer bag. Meanwhile, heat dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add chicken and garlic; cook 5 minutes. Turn chicken over, continue cooking 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Add pasta sauce and cream cheese to chicken in skillet; cook on medium-low heat 2-3 minutes or until cream cheese is completely melted, mixture is well blended and chicken is coated with sauce, stirring occasionally. Transfer chicken to a separate freezer bag. Freeze both.


Serving Day:

Thaw completely. Throw pasta and broccoli into hot water to heat back up. Taste for desired tenderness. Reheat sauce and chicken in a non-stick skillet. Remove chicken and keep warm. Add sauce to pasta, mix well. Transfer to bowls. Cut chicken crosswise into thick slices; fan out chicken over pasta mixture in each bowl. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese.


ENJOY!!!
