I got the idea for this from something my boyfriend ordered at a restaurant. I've been tinkering with different recipes and this is the best so far.
Ingredients:
8 ounces of diced chicken breasts
8 ounces angel hair pasta
6 ounces arugula
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 pinches salt
2 pinches pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 thinly sliced garlic clove
Directions:
1. Cook angel hair pasta according to directions - do not drain!
2. While water is warming up, start heating olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium heat.
3. Add garlic and cook until it starts to brown.
4. Add pasta to water.
5. Remove garlic from oil and chicken pieces.
6. Add one pinch of salt and pepper to chicken and mix frequently to achieve even cooking.
7. When chicken is done cooking, turn heat down to medium/low, add garlic and arugula and let the argugla wilt for 2 minutes - stir frequently.
8. Add pasta using a slotted pasta spoon - allow the water dripping from the pasta to go into the pan with the pasta.
9. Add salt, pepper and parmesan cheese and stir well.
10. Add another tablespoon of pasta water to make the sauce thinner if needed.
