Chicken, four vegetables and macaroni combine in mild sauce to make a healthy, tasty, quick meal. This makes two dinner plates full - this may be too much for some. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in bite size pieces |
5 garlic cloves, smashed (can use less if worried about smell) |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 cup celery, chopped |
2 cups fresh spinach, packed |
1 cup macaroni |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary |
1 teaspoon oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley |
3/4 cup grated dry parmesan cheese |
3/4 cup shredded cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a pan large enough to hold all the ingredients. I use a 10 chicken fryer. If you don't have one, a dutch oven works as well.
2. Add the cubed chicken, onion, celery and spinach. Stir until onions are transparent, spinach is wilted and chicken is no longer pink.
3. Add macaroni, water, tomatoes & spices. Stir until mixture begins boiling. Cover and reduce heat to allow mixture to simmer for 18 minutes. Stir several times during cooking.
4. Add cheeses and stir well until cheese is melted and blended into the remain liquid in the pan.
