I am finally able to tolerate grocery shopping and cooking again (Chris and my bank account are thankful for that). This is one of my favorite recipes. It is kind of like a healthy alfredo that isn't nearly as bad for you. My poor gallbladder cannot handle alfredo sauce, so this is a tasty alternative. Let me know what you think!
Original recipe:
1 16 oz package of farfalle pasta
1/2 cup butter or margarine
3 cloves minces garlic
1/2 cup milk
1 Tbsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp grated romano cheese
1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
3 cooked chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, rehydrated in water
1) In a large pot with boiling, salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
2) In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until brown. Add the cream of chicken soup & milk, stirring until smooth. Stir in dried parsley, salt, and ground fresh pepper. Simmer 2-3 minutes. Add chicken & hydrated sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer 6-8 minutes. Mix in grated Romano cheese.
3) Toss pasta with chicken mix.
My alterations:
1) I don't use 1/2 cup of butter. I use 2/3 of a stick instead and use more condensed soup.
2) I LOVE sun-dried tomatoes and like to have 1 with each bite. I use a whole bag of them but I have no idea what the measurement is.
3) I only usually use 2 chicken breasts instead of 3.
4) I increase the garlic, salt, & pepper since I use more condensed cream of chicken soup.
