Chicken-Bacon Primavera

What You Will Need: Chicken (cooked & slice or shredded), bacon (chopped & crispy), onions, garlic, bell pepper, green beans, broccoli, butter, pasta, chicken broth & parmesan cheese.

**Take some help from the store & use a rotisserie chicken if you are short on time.
I would prefer this dish be made with a long pasta such as linguini but its easier for my child to eat a smaller noodle.    


First things first......Pour yourself a glass of wine & turn on some Italian music! 

Ora possiamo cominciare! 
Which means, Now we can begin! 


Place a pot of water over high heat & bring to a boil. Cook your pasta till al dente, drain & set aside.

In a large skillet. Melt some butter then sauté the sliced onions & chopped garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes.


Add in the chicken & cook another 2 minutes.


Trimmed green beans & bell pepper join the mix. Cook for 1-2 minutes. You don't want to overcook the beans & peppers. We don't want mushy veggies in our pasta! 


Now we will start building the sauce right in the pan.
Pour in about a half of broth. Bring to a boil. 


Add in the cut broccoli & simmer for 2 minutes. 


Throw in 3-4 Tablespoons of butter, season with salt & pepper.


Toss in the bacon pieces.


Sprinkle in plenty of parmesan, mix & boom....your ready to serve! 


Get a big bowl of your pasta & pile it high with the tender chicken, crisp bacon & fresh veggies. 
Don't forget to spoon over plenty of the buttery broth! 

Garnish with more parmesan & some chopped fresh herbs if desired. 


Enjoy & Always Cook with Love!
