Creamy Butter Chicken

Hi guys,

Seriously, this is what my dreams are made of, A quick, easy, delicious meal the whole family likes. that’s a win win.

I wanted a recipe like that, that doesn’t take hours to prepare and the whole family would like. This creamy, lemon, butter chicken has ingredients

even the  picky eater will like, who doesn’t like butter and cream? Another great thing about this recipe, it only has a few ingredients, you probably

have in your kitchen. I used rigatoni, if you don’t like rigatoni use pasta  you like, my  recipes are customizable to fit your life style and taste.

This recipe works well with shrimp, if you don’t like chicken or want to change it up.

it’s a quick and easy recipe that doesn’t have to be saved for special occasions. It comes together in  half a hour, doesn’t use ingredients

you can’t pronounce,  let only know what they are. This recipe uses  recognizable, mostly on hand ingredients.

In my kitchen, I use the same ingredients in many different recipes, saving trips to the store and cutting down on waste.

This creamy, skillet chicken dinner is delicious on it’s own, add your favorite pasta, and you have a show stopper.

I used rigatoni, you can use any pasta you like.

Remember, on my YouTube channel I go over the basics of cooking pasta, it takes a little” know how” to perfectly cooked pasta.

it’s not as easy as it looks to cook it El Dente, without it being raw, or over cooking it to the point of mush.

When cooking Pasta salt the water, add a tablespoon of oil to keep it from sticking, have enough water in the pot to keep the pasta moving freely.

To stop the cooking process after cooking, run the pasta under cold water, this method is good  too if your going to use the pasta later.

This is how we did it in the restaurant, cooked the pasta El Dente, ran it inder cold water, portion it out. when i got an order

in drop the that was in a strainer, in the boiling water for a few seconds to warm it up, it”s as fresh as you just made it.

Keep it simple, keep it fresh, keep it delicious, customize to make it your own by changing the protein and your choice of pasta

Sharing restaurant style recipes, simplified for the home cook….Let me know if you try this recipe thats my favorite part.

Happy Day My Dears…Enjoy!!!
