Leftover Spicy Chicken Pasta

A wonderful dish I threw together with left over grilled chicken.

Adjust the spices below as you wish.

Ingredients:

left over chicken - any amount

1/2 lb. thin spaghetti

1 TBL butter

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp red pepper (cayenne)

6 oz of red pepper pesto or sun dried tomatoes in oil - chopped

pinch or two - red pepper flakes

1 garlic clove mashed

pinch salt and black pepper

1 small onion - sliced 3 TBL tomato paste

1/4 cup dry white wine

1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth

2/3 cup heavy cream

handful of grated Parmesan

chopped parsley

Directions:

Cook your pasta according to directions.

In a large skillet melt the butter on medium heat. Add the onions and the left over chicken pieces. Cook for 5 minutes then add the garlic.

After 2 minutes add all your spices, pesto or sun-dried tomatoes and allow everything to sauté. Add next the tomato paste and cook, stirring well, for another 2 minutes.

Add next the white wine and allow it to reduce by half. Add in the chicken stock.

Quick Tip - The pasta should almost be done at this point.

Add next the heavy cream into the sauce and simmer for 2 full minutes. Add salt and pepper - then the pasta (using long tongs right into the sauce).

Stir well.

Finish with the Parmesan and parsley.

ENJOY!
