Literally means: Chicken with pasta and fresh cheese sauce. Took this out from my weekly COOP newsletter (its a chain of supermarkets like Tesco). I really like this recipe and its really quick and easy peasy to prepare. So here goes...
Main meal for 4 person.
Ingredients
Enough olive oil for cooking
3 spring of thyme
400 g chicken breasts sliced into bite size
1/2 tsp salt
a pinch of pepper
1/2 tsp olive oil
450 g zucchini cut in half and sliced into 3mm thick slices
150 g frozen peas
100 ml chicken stock
1 tbsp mild mustard
125 g fresh herb cheese AKA cream cheese, such as Cantadou or Boursin, cubed
1/4 tsp nutmeg powder
300 g pasta
Enough salted water for pasta cooking.
Method
You first heat up some olive oil in the pan, then add thyme and chicken breasts. Cook till meat are slightly golden. Remove thyme, season and set a side the chicken for later use.
Pour in the rest of the olive oil into the pan, lower the heat and stir fry the zucchini for about 2 minutes. Then peas, for another minute, followed be the chicken stock and simmer for about 2 minutes. Stir in your cream/fresh cheese, mustard and nutmeg and bring to a boil. Stir in pre-prepared chicken, cook briefly and remove from heat.
You then prepare your pasta according to manufacturer's instructions or till al dente/just cook. Drain and then mix the sauce with your pasta and voila!
Note: I made mine slightly different: didn't have zucchini so in comes canned mushrooms and some left over bacon... :p

I am so super happy you loved the cake recipe. Yes, you can totally opt out of the glaze. Glad you could convert the recipe too!

Isn't that cake super moist or what?
