Chicken Philly Pasta

 Chicken Philly Pasta

I can’t believe it’s almost July, and the temperatures are rising in California, where I live. So am always looking for easy, quick recipes that get me out of the kitchen fast.

Seriously, this  Chicken Philly Pasta  is what  dreams are made of. quick, easy, and delicious it’s a meal the whole family loves. And it’s ready in less than 30 minutes.

We need recipes like this, that don’t take hours to prepare and the whole family loves. This creamy, cheesy meal has ingredients even picky eaters will like. Who doesn’t like cream and cheese?

Another great thing about this recipe, it uses  few ingredients you probably have in your kitchen, and the best part it’s made in one pan. It’s a quick and easy recipe that doesn’t have to be saved for special occasions, it’s a prefect meal any night of the night.

It comes together in 30 minutes, doesn’t use ingredients you can’t pronounce,  let alone know what they are and my favorite way of cooking it’s make all in one pan YIPEEEE!!!!

Customize Chicken Philly Pasta

You can customize this Chicken Philly Pasta recipe to make it your own, by changing the protein and your choice of pasta. If possible try to use ingredients you have on hand in different recipes.

In my kitchen I use the same ingredients in many different recipes. It saves trips to the store and cuts down on waste. For instance, this pasta dish uses the same ingredients I would use to make a chicken Philly sandwich or a Philly style pizza, cooking this way makes meal easier.

If you keep following  along pretty soon you wouldn’t be looking at recipes as often. You’ll easily be able to add, change or subtract ingredients to fit your lifestyle and taste.

This recipe works well with shrimp too. If you use shrimp saute them 3 minutes per side them remove them from pan to prevent overcooking, adding them back in at the end just to heat through. And of course you can use steak and made it a true Philly steak pasta.

Whatever ingredients you use keep it simple and fresh, and remember in one pan cooking the saute pan needs to be deep enough to hold the pasta. one pan of this size is all you need. This is the one I use from Target, it’s the prefect size for one pan cooking and not too expensive.

One more good thing about this recipe, it stay’s fresh in the fridge for 2 to 3 days, for quick meal reheats and it’s freezer friendly for ready made meals.
