Cavatappi With Basil And Chicken Cream Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Cook chicken and mushrooms in large nonstick skillet on medium heat 6 to 7 min. or until chicken is done, stirring frequently.
• Mix cream cheese spread, milk and pesto sauce until blended. Add to skillet; cook and stir 2 min. or until heated through.
• Stir in pasta and tomatoes; top with Parmesan.

Steps:

• Place milk and bread crumbs in separate, shallow bowls. In skillet, heat butter or margarine to medium heat. Dip chicken in milk, then coat with crumbs. Cook in butter or margarine, on both sides, until juices run clear (about 10 minutes). Remove and keep warm.
• Add broth to skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and stir to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in cream and pimentos; boil and stir for 1 minute. Reduce heat.
• Add Parmesan cheese, basil and pepper. Stir sauce and cook until heated through. Pour mixture over chicken and serve!

Steps:

• If putting this over pasta, start your water boiling first, and add pasta when water comes to a boil.
• Melt the butter.
• Add flour and cook to make light roux.
• Stir in milk, salt, pepper, parmigiano-reggiano, garlic powder, chicken, and basil over low-med heat.
• Cook until creamy and thick, or to the consistency you like. I find that I have to turn the heat down to low as the sauce begins to come together.
