Dice up boneless/skinless chicken breast in a skillet with some olive oil and some garlic, when the pink is gone add in your prepared al dente pasta and some fresh or drained peas, mix well, add in a can of Cream of Chicken soup, mix and heat through.Any recipes for chicken, pasta and peas?
Do you have any cheese? just about anything will work. I would just cook the chicken and cut it up into cubes. (can be done before or after cooking) Then make a basic cheese sauce.





Melt about a table spoon of butter or margarine in a sauce pan. Then add a couple table spoons of flour. Just enough to make it like a paste. keep heat at simmer to medium. once flour has turned a golden color add in cheese. best of cut into cubes. or just handfuls of shredded cheese. Then about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk. let cheese melt. stir in some spices such as pepper and even some garlic powder (whatever you like really). let simmer while you finish everything else.





drain cooked pasta, place the pasta back in pot add in the cooked peas and chicken and mix. pour cheese sauce over pasta mixture and stir to cover.





This is my favorite quick easy dish to make. My mom is Italian and taught me this quick cheese sauce recipe when I was little. It is best in the summer when you have fresh veggies. But since I tend to add peas to every meal trust me this tastes amazing. Hope this helps! Good Luck
Poach your chicken and remove, use the poaching liquid to cook the pasta (add more water).


Drain pasta over canned of frozen peas, and return to pot.


Shred chicken, add to pot and combine with pasta.


Use the Lemon Herb Marinade in the poaching liquid.
you can season your chicken and bake it in the over and place it over the pasta noodles and if you have some pasta sauce then top it off with that and some cheese
