chicken pasta recipe ideas that I might have ingredients in for?

[lucysmam]

dp fancies some kind of chicken pasta dish for tea but I was holding off doing any shopping for the mo as dd1 could do with new school shoes at the weekend

I have the chicken and pasta, suggestions what to do with them that I might have in would be gratefully recieved tia

have you got tomatoes, onions, stock cube, garlic and herbs?

you could make a sauce out of those, cook the chicken in it and serve with pasta?

If you have any chorizo, pepperoni or even pepperami you can chop it up small and bung it in the tomato sauce. It adds a bit of spice to the sauce without making it hot and spicy.

the usual thing would be to make a white sauce, flavoured with what ever herbs you have and/or something like mushrooms or peas and then break the chicken into it. Cook the pasta and then mix together.

i can give you perhaps nicer things to do if you tell me what veg you have (can be tinned, frozen or fresh) whether you have bacon and if you have garlic and or onions

Hmm, off the top of my head without getting up to look I have carrotts, onions, mushrooms, garlic, green beans, brocolli, baby corn on the cob, a couple of peppers, bit of salami and a bag of frozen cabbage. possibly some other random bits in freezer too but grumpy dd2 is laid over my legs atm

fry off some onions in plenty of oil, add some sliced peppers and stew for about half an hour until peppers are soft and almost caramelized, the peppers will release their juices which will make your sauce, poach the chicken (if not already cooked), retain cooking water (you can use this to add to the sauce if too dry). break up chicken and add to the peppers. taste and season, you may wish to add a bit of lemon juice. Cook the pasta in salted and mix together adding either of both cooking waters to make a wetter sauce if required
