25 Min Chicken Parmesan Pasta Toss

We found this recipe actually from another blog!  The Slow Roasted Italian blog is a family friendly food blog focused on making life simple!  They are all about simplifying mealtime; making meals fast and easy using real ingredients.




25 Minute Chicken Parmesan Pasta Toss

-adapted from Kraft

½ lb linguine, uncooked
1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
3 Tbs. Hunt’s tomato paste
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 can (14.5 oz.) Hunt’s Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes with Garlic, undrained
½ cup water
¼ cup Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
½ cup Kraft Grated Parmesan & Romano Cheese
1 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley

  • Cook pasta as directed on package, omitting salt.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet on medium heat.  Add chicken; cook 8 minutes or until done, flipping once
  • Stir in tomato paste & garlic powder; cook & stir on medium-high for 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes
  • Add dressing & water
  • Using tongs, lift pasta from water and place into skillet
  • Toss pasta & cover with sauce, Cook 2 minutes
  • Sprinkle pasta with cheese & parsley…serve & enjoy!


Tupps Tidbits ~ slice chicken thin & evenly so it cooks properly; use very large non skillet since you have to add the noodles into this dish!
          
This dish had a dynamic flavor with such few ingredients and all less than 30 minutes!  We would suggest adding more red pepper flakes & more seasoning.  Also, making a hearty garlic bread/toast would definitely complement this meal.
We both agreed this dish is just OK; it was good, but just not great.
So we are going to put this under the – IT IS NOT A KEEPER category.
