HEALTHY CREAMY CHICKEN AND PASTA

Being on a diet, the words creamy and pasta usually are reserved for only my cheat days. I wanted to make something and not feel guilty about eating it, so I whipped this up in the kitchen. It's delicious and very adaptable; change it up however you like! Has a nice little bite with the red pepper flakes added. This would also be fantastic with onion added.

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in penne and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Cook and stir olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over high heat just until brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add chicken and mushrooms; stir to coat with garlic and olive oil. Cook chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in cream of mushroom soup; gradually add 1/2 cup of water about 1 tablespoon at a time, adding enough to make sauce light and creamy.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low heat and gently fold pasta into the chicken and sauce until coated. Add garlic salt and red pepper to taste; remove from heat and serve.

12 HEALTHY CHICKEN PASTA RECIPES THAT'LL STREAMLINE YOUR DINNER …

From camillestyles.com
  • Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo from Gimme Delicious. Why We Love It: Alfredo’s known for packing in all the delicious, but nap-inducing, ingredients. This recipe subs in a mix of stock and lighter milk for the butter and heavy cream (plus a small handful of parmesan—you can’t not add it in).
  • Healthy Chicken Stroganoff With Mushrooms from Bowl of Delicious. Why We Love It: Growing up, chicken stroganoff was the retro dish my family would make without fail every time it snowed (and snow in New England, it definitely did).
  • Lemon Chicken Pasta from This Healthy Table. Why We Love It: I’m a bit lemon obsessed. The citrus is my go-to when I’m wanting to brighten up a dish. I love the spring-y flavor it gives this Lemon Ricotta Poundcake and it never fails to bring me joy zested atop my all-time favorite easy weeknight dinner.
  • Healthy Chicken Piccata from Healthy Seasonal Recipes. Why We Love It: I love the briny, peppery, and slightly acidic trifecta of flavor that capers, white wine, and parsley brings.
  • Easy One Dish Chicken Pasta. Why We Love It: One dish and one pot recipes are my weeknight secret weapons. As someone who doesn’t have a dishwasher (and totally hates doing dishes), I try to strategize and make clean-up as easy and painless as possible.
  • One Pot Creamy Mediterranean Chicken Pasta from The Modern Proper. Why We Love It: Here’s where some people might take my definition of healthy into question.
  • Easy Chicken Pesto Pasta from The Preppy Kitchen. Why We Love It: The verdant, warmer spring weather is the perfect opportunity to make pesto. I love welcoming the shift in seasons with plenty of fresh herbs that are made all the better with pasta and parmesan.
  • Tomato Spinach Chicken Spaghetti from Julia’s Album. Why We Love It: Like many of my favorite foods (soup, smoothies, and grain bowls counted among them), pasta gives you a great foundation for incorporating nutrition-boosting veggies.
  • Lemon Chicken Kale Pasta from For the Love of Gourmet. Why We Love It: Sometimes, recipes only seem to include kale as an afterthought. (“Oh, I haven’t eaten a green today?
  • Spaghetti Squash Carbonara from The Real Simple Good Life. Why We Love It: I’ll be candid: For years and years, I haven’t understood the obsession with spaghetti squash.
