giada is one of my favorites on the food network. a close second to ina in fact. she makes great pasta dishes, hot & cold, and this one is extremely easy and always a crowd pleaser. this is a variation of her chicken rotini (which is a much smaller type of pasta) that i opted to replace with macaroni. makes for a great supper and leftover lunch later in the week.
what ya need:
organic chicken breast x2
1 can diced tomatoes
macaroni pasta
scallions
parsley
butter
garlic
bread crumbs
parmesan cheese
wash your chicken and cut into bite size cubes. add to hot skillet with butter and garlic. cook for 8 minutes, then put the scallions in with the chicken. allow chicken to cook and flavors to come together for another 5 minutes or until chicken is golden brown.
cook macaroni in a pot with salted water for 8 - 10 minutes. drain pasta and add to mixing bowl. add your parmesan cheese, parsley, can of diced tomatoes and salt & pepper. mix well and place into your baking dish.
since we didn't have breadcrumbs, i made my own. i put two pieces of bread into the oven on broil for 2 minutes on each side. then placed them on the cutting board and sliced very thin pieces in each direction.
sprinkle the bread crumbs on top along with a few slices of butter. add salt & pepper to taste and place into a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. ENJOY!
