Taste Of Texas Pasta And Chicken Food

This tasty dinner has been a great time-saver for me. I usually cut up the chicken, onion and peppers while our two young children are napping. Then, just before my husband gets home from work, I toss everything into the skillet while the pasta is cooking on another burner.-Heather Brown, Frisco, Texas

Made this tonight for the family and it was all thumbs up around the table. Very good, quick and easy to make and flavorful. This is a "Taste of Home Recipe." I'm going to write it exactly as written in the magazine, although I did make some minor changes that I will add here: Instead of spaghetti, I used Angel Hair Pasta, which is what we prefer in a dish like this. I used a sweet red pepper that was not roasted although I did chop and saute it along with the chopped onion, mushrooms and garlic. Garlic was not a listed ingredient in the original recipe, but I add it to almost everything. The recipe did not call for sauteeing the vegetables, but I usually do because I prefer to be certain that they are tender, not crisp to the bite. I'm not fond of biting into raw/crisp onions and peppers. I also feel that flavors blend better when sauteed together. I used a cheddar/jack cheese blend rather than sharp cheddar and Swiss cheeses only because it's what I had on hand. I'm sure that the this recipe would be wonderful as written, but I guarantee it's great with my changes as well. Enjoy!

I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. I am listing it here as she gave it to me, but I make the following changes: recipe #54128 in place of the mushroom soup (or I have also used cream cheese, maybe fat-free?) lots more garlic and onions, fresh mushrooms instead of canned, cheddar cheese spread (ie Wispride)instead of Velveeta and I skip the olives since it is one of the few foods I actually dislike. It's really a pretty tasty casserole, easy to make ahead for a crowd and it freezes well. I like to add Tabasco for a little more zip.
