Quick and delicious creamy chicken pasta with veggies, made in one skillet. A family favorite!
Ingredients:
  • 1 package (14 oz) chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 3 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
  • 8 oz farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
  • 2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 2 cups trimmed 1-inch pieces asparagus (about 1 lb)
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup Cascadian Farm™ frozen organic sweet peas, thawed
Instructions:
  • Season the chicken with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Remove chicken from skillet. Add onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and lemon peel; cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in the flavorful broth and bring to a lively boil. Gently mix in the pasta, carrots, and the rest of the salt and pepper. Lower the heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 11 minutes. Uncover, and introduce the vibrant asparagus and cooked chicken. Cover again and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is perfectly al dente and the asparagus is delightfully tender.
  • Combine cream cheese cubes, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice, stirring until smooth. Gently fold in frozen peas, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until peas are warmed and sauce is creamy.
  • Take the sauce off the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to further thicken.
