Yummy Chicken

I have been using the Kosher by Design cookbooks for a few weeks now.  I really like the recipes.  This one is from the "Entertains" book, and is something that can be done after work.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces bow tie pasta
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup oil-packed, sun-dried tomatoes, cut into thin strips
• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 2 Roma tomatoes chopped
• 1/2 cup frozen green peas (from a 10-ounce box) unthawed
• 1/4 cup soy milk

Preparation:

1. Cook the pasta according to package directions and drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds, do not brown it. Add the chicken, oregano, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt. Cook for 4 minutes. Add the broth, sun-dried tomatoes, and wine. Bring to a boil. Add in the fresh tomatoes and peas. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-6 minutes, uncovered. Make sure chicken is no longer pink.
3. Stir in the soymilk. Simmer 2 minutes more. Watch the whole time to make sure the sauce does not cook out. Add in the cooked pasta and toss to combine all. Heat through.

 

It made enough to feed the three meat eaters in the house with significant leftovers.  What I liked about this recipe is that it has a little bit of heat to it, but not too much.  The kids liked the dinner also, which is always a win with me!
