Chicken Artichoke Pasta
More lowfat Italian! And this is another one of my favorites. Of course, I happen to LOVE artichokes. When we go out to dinner, my husband will predict my menu choice just by looking for the prominence of the word “artichoke” in the description. The larger the word is printed, the more likely I am to order it! Enough about me… Let’s talk about YOUR dinner!
Chicken Artichoke Pasta
1 small onion, diced
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 small jars of marinated artichoke hearts (save the juice from the artichokes)
pinch of salt and pepper on the chicken breast
1 small jar roasted red peppers cut in strips
1 can pitted black olives, partly drained
1 lb boneless chicken breast
2 c tri-colored rotini pasta
In a frying pan add 1 tbsp olive oil, cook onions and garlic for 1 minute. Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes or till there is no pink in the middle of chicken. Take out of pan. Cook pasta, drain, add chicken, artichokes, peppers, olives with the juices from artichokes, and 1/2 juice from olives. Toss altogether and serve. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
