This chicken dinner looks pretty on any table, served on pretty plates or serve it family style in one bowl it’s decade enough for a celebration dinner.

This recipe was inspired by my love of  pasta, one of my top restaurant’ luxury’ meals, I simplified the recipe  for the” home chef”.

I don’t drink alcohol, so I give you options in all my recipes to use wine or stock, use whatever fits your lifestyle and taste. In some recipes I do use wine, Am okay with that, if your not use stock, it doesn’t change the flavor much whether you use wine or stock.

Here’s a few  things to keep in mind when cooking pasta, salt the water. The water should be boiling rapidly before dropping the pasta in it. I used Bucatini a long hollow noodle, you can use any shape pasta or flavor pasta you like.

It’s also easier if the pasta water pan is on the back burner and the saute pan on the front one. I  like this 8 quart stock pot for pasta and soups. The saute pan needs more tending to than the pasta water.
