Because of a great coupon I had, I purchased a container of Philadelphia Cooking Creme - Italian Cheese & Herb. On the back of the carton was a recipe for Fresh Asparagus, Tomato & Chicken Pasta that sounded pretty good and because I had most of the ingredients already on hand, we gave it a try last night. It was delicious!
Fresh Asparagus, Tomato & Chicken Pasta
Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 lb thin fresh asparagus spears, trimmed, cut into 1-inch lengths
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1 tub (10 oz) Philadelphia Reduced Fat Italian Cheese & Herb Cooking Creme
- 2 cups hot cooked whole wheat penne pasta
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
- Cook and stir chicken, asparagus and onions in large nonstick skillet on medium heat 7 to 8 minutes or until chicken is done and asparagus is crisp-tender.
- Add cooking creme and pasta; cook and stir 3 minutes.
- Stir in tomatoes. Top with Parmesan.
Super simple recipe. I did make a couple of alterations because of what I had on hand. I didn't have cherry tomatoes, so I just diced some roma tomatoes. I also used garden penne instead of whole wheat because that package was already opened. I didn't have shredded Parmesan cheese, so I just used grated Parmesan cheese from the bottle.
It was delicious and the kids liked it too. So creamy and yummy!!
