Pasta Bowl
Want Tastier Chicken Pastas?
Many people love chicken pastas and enjoy them often. They are a great meal for any occasion, easy to put together and quite affordable. The problem is that chicken pastas can become boring because of our lack of time for preparation, and frankly, a lack of imagination.
In this article, I will suggest ways to keep chicken pastas in your meal rotation in slightly new and more flavorful ways. Hopefully, we will retain the convenience of chicken pastas, but vary the presentations.
Chicken pastas mix together two classic ingredients, chicken and your choice of pasta. They give you a great combination of protein and carbohydrates that tastes great and is relatively easy to put together. There are many ways to combine chicken and pasta.
Whether it is a convenient salad, a tasty family dish or a special ethnic dish, chicken pastas can do it all. Your imagination is the only limit…so get your imagination in gear and let’s look at some of the possibilities:
1) Chicken pastas based around a salad are handy to have for lunch and also good to have after exercising to help your body recuperate.
Cut the poultry into little pieces and season with salt and pepper. While this is happening cook your pasta in boiling salted water. Sautee the chicken in olive oil and garlic until fully done. When fully cooked, put the chicken aside. When your pasta is done, drain and then cool. When they have both cooled slightly, stir them together with chopped chives and light mayonnaise.
2) A savory sauce can enliven both ingredients in chicken pastas. A sauce based around tomatoes that have been crushed and sieved brings richness and flavor. Add onions which have been finely chopped and herbs such as parsley and basil. Mix these in a saucepan, add to your chichen pastas and serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
3) Pesto is made by combining pine nuts, basil and olive oil. It is quite low in fat. The tangy flavor can be something of an acquired taste, but it is well worth trying out. You can buy pesto in a jar at the market or make it fresh. Pesto chicken pastas are a light, great tasting meal perfect for lunch or dinner.
4) For more indulgent chicken pastas, get some of your best hard cheese and grate a whole bowl of it. Combine the cheese with chicken and pasta that have been marinated in oil. The grated cheese needs to be added to both and then stirred.
To make this taste even better put all of it into a dish then heat it in the oven to melt the cheese and make it stringy. These chicken pastas might be too rich for some, but will certainly be enjoyed by those who like simple, yet strong flavors.
5) If you desire more health-conscious chicken pastas, try adding more vegetables, especially broccoli. This combines pasta with garlic, grilled chicken and Parmesan cheese. After cooking the spaghetti, put it aside to drain and dry slightly. Steam some broccoli then toss it in with the spaghetti, oil, garlic and top with your grated cheese.
You can eat chicken and pasta in any number of ways. Any of the chicken pastas suggested here can be changed by adding other seasonings such as ground pepper which brings flavors together. Trying out your own seasonings is what makes cooking exciting.
I hope these suggestions will be helpful and keep those chicken pastas as a standard in your family’s meal rotation.
