Yet Another Recipe. :-)

I think I might be on a roll! Yes! :-D

So, I present another recipe. This one took... maybe 45 minutes to make (prep and cooking combined), so that's not too bad. :-)


Peppers and Chicken Delish

Put a medium-sized pot of water on to boil, covered.

Combine in a skillet:
4-6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (OR 2 chicken breasts, OR 1.5C mixed pine nuts, crumbled pecans, slivered almonds, and/or crumbled walnuts -- if using nuts, add 2 tsp oil to the skillet)
+
2C blush wine (or white wine, or low-sodium chicken/veggie stock)
+
1 tsp each: basil, thyme, & rosemary
+
1 tbsp (3 cloves) minced garlic
+
1/2 tsp black pepper

Simmer, covered, on medium-high (or high) until the chicken is cooked or the liquid is mostly absorbed (10-15 minutes, stir lightly every five minutes to keep things from sticking to the pan).

Add:
5-6 thinly sliced white button mushrooms (or shiitake mushrooms, for a fancier dish and a more woody flavour)
+
2 tsp olive oil

Allow to simmer/sautee, covered, for another 5 minutes or so.

Take 1.5-2C three-colour (or three-veggie!) fusilli pasta and add it to the by-now-boiling water. Turn the heat down to about 6 and allow the pasta to do its thing.

To the skillet, Add:
1-2 chopped yellow/orange peppers (in long strips) and maybe another 1/8C wine/stock.
Re-cover and simmer/sautee for another five minutes.

Un-cover the skillet and sautee the peppers mixture until everything is well-mixed (3-4 minutes). Turn the heat down to low/1.


Drain the pasta, which should be al-dente by now, and then add the pasta to the skillet. Mix everything together.
Turn off the heat.
Serve.
Goes well with slices of baguettes.
Enjoy! :-D
