Left Over Chicken Pasta

>> Wednesday, July 28, 2010

Ingrediants:
Left over chicken (grilled or otherwise prepared... perferrably with no strong seasoning)
Pasta (I used whole wheat... choice is yours)
Maranara Sauce (or any other choice)

Pre-time: 2 seconds
Cook time: 10 minutes

Ok... no pictures. (sorry becca-boo, dont hate)
BUT, have you ever made a bunch of chicken cause you (OR YOUR HUSBAND) are too afraid to re-freeze a package of chicken once its thawed? No you say? Me either, but my husband is, so needless to say... I bought this HUGE package of chicken breast and because he thawed it to grill two pieces, we had to grill the whole dang thing (pretty sure I learned what a run-on sentence is and I just did an example).

So we had BBQ chicken on Sunday... plain chicken on Monday (lunch)... and yesterday I was going to go gag myself if I had to eat a tasteless three day old chicken breast.
SO, I decided to mix things up a bit. I pulled out some pasta and set it to boil. Then I took some maranara sauce (that I made from Rebecca Hunts recipe a few months ago and kept it in my freezer) and put it in an oversized pan on medium heat.
I pulled out my food processor and cut up the rubbery chicken into smal chuncks. I shredded the chicken up to medium size chunks and placed it in the sauce pan.

Once the Pasta was cooked I poured out the water and put the sauce (with chicken) in the pasta pan. I let it all cook together (no heat... the heat of the pasta and sauce will continue to cook it all together) for a few minutes.

It was perfect... you got chicken in each bite without having to chew through it and remind yourself that its left-left-left overs. :)

Not really a WOW-ZER of a recipe. But if your like me, then your looking for things to do with left overs that youll end up throwing away cause you are OVER eating it for the fourth meal. :)
