Creamy Chicken Pasta

One of my family's favorite meals, and mine too! I love a good creamy pasta, and it has taken many trial and error recipes to find a good one. After attempting to make a variety of creamy pastas, this one is by far my favorite. I hope you try it and like it as well!

Ingredients:

3 Chicken tenderloins 

1 box of pasta (I prefer bowtie pasta, however, you can use any pasta for this dish)

Half of a medium size onion

3 garlic cloves

1 Half pint of heavy whipping cream

About a cup (or more) of good parmesan cheese (its best when you shred it yourself)

3 tbs of butter

1/2 cup of frozen peas

Pinch of salt and pepper

Pinch of nutmeg

Pinch of oregano

Pinch of Goya seasoning (if you have it)

Olive Oil

Preparation:

Start boiling your water for your pasta

Chop onion and garlic

Season the chicken tenderloins with salt, paper and goya seasonings

Shred the parmesan cheese and set it aside in the refrigerator 

1.) Turn the heat to medium-high and toss some olive oil onto your skillet. Once heated, place your chicken tenderloins that have already been seasoned onto your skillet. This should only take about 4 minutes on each side. Once the chicken is cooked all the way through, take the chicken out of the skillet and cut into cubes, then place back on skillet. 

2.) Place the chopped onions and garlic into skillet with the chicken. Let this cook for about 8 minutes, until the onions and garlic have cooked. Then pour in your frozen peas into the mixture and lower the heat to medium-low. Add the butter into this mixture and let it melt and mix with the ingredients. Let this cook for a few minutes together.

3.) Add the whipping cream into the skillet and give it a good stir to mix everything together. Turn the heat down to low and let simmer. Sprinkle your freshly shredded parmesan cheese over top so it melts together as it simmers. 

4.) Once your pasta is finished cooking, pour the pasta into your skillet with your sauce mixture and toss together. Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg and oregano on top of the pasta and give it another toss.

I love a good glass of white wine with almost any meal, however, with a good creamy pasta such as this one, pinot grigio is sure to hit the spot.

Wine pairing: Bertani Due Uve, Sauvignon Blanc/Pinot Grigio

In this wine you will find hints of peach and apricot. A lovely wine to pair with a good homemade creamy pasta. 

*If you cannot find this exact wine at your local wine store, try to find a good Sauvignon Blanc/Pinot Grigio mixture...the blends of the two grapes is absolutely amazing.
