a lovely shore breeze....: Weekend Cooking...Let's Try a New Product!

Well, it is new to me!
And see, it says NEW right on the container!

As I was doing the SIL's grocery shopping, she of the neck surgery and brace, the other day, my thoughts turned to dinner.
Something easy and fast..and something with chicken because boneless breasts were on sale and I love me a sale!

As I wandered around, in the dairy section, while getting some cream cheese for her bagels, I saw this products here on the right. Sure, I have seen the commercials, but commercials do not usually sway me.
But this time I was swayed, especially since the Philly Cooking Cream was on sale too!

Creamy Italian Cheese and Herb Chicken


3 boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves of garlic, crushed.
1 large red pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 large bag frozen broccoli
1 tub Philly Italian Cheese and Herb Cooking Creme
12 oz. pasta (I used bowties) cookedWhile the water is coming to a boil for the pasta, saute the chicken in a bit of oil until just starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
Add onion, garlic and peppers and saute until just getting soft. throw in that broccoli and stir and cook for another minute or two.
Add the Philly cooking cream, stir, reduce heat and cooked until combined and bubbly hot, 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta, stir in, taste for salt and pepper and serve!

Quick...easy...and really quite tasty. The Bro and SIL liked it. Quite a bit I believe.
Of course, you can add any veggies you like, but I liked the mix of green and red. With a nice side salad, a bit of warm Italian bread, maybe a glass of wine, not a bad dinner for 20 minutes work.
When I drained the pasta, I kept a bit of the pasta water to thin out the sauce if it was too thick, but I thought it was just right. I also used a greater ratio of meat and veggies to sauce than the basic recipe on the container and thought I might need part of a second tub, but no, it was enough
Not to mention, if you go to the Philly website, they have a lot more recipes, some more ambitious than this one.
