This might be our new favorite. We were both wondering why we didn't cook more with Salsa Verde. It's such a zesty, fun ingredient that adds a discernable flavor to any dish. "We need more salsa verde dishes in our life!" Kevin announced after devouring this dinner. Yeah... Ok... Twist my arm more!
Last week we discussed why one-dish meals are awesome for Football Sundays. Make sure to add this one to your list of recipes to prepare during the play-offs!
Creamy Salsa Verde Chicken Pasta
Recipe courtesy of: http://www.kevinandamanda.com/recipes/dinner/creamy-salsa-verde-chicken-pasta.html
Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup salsa verde
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 cups uncooked penne pasta
salt and pepper to taste (about ½ teaspoon each)
1½ cups pepper jack cheese, shredded (we used mozzarella, because we accidentally used the pepper jack cheese in something else! It was still delicious)
Instructions
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces (about 1-inch cubes). Season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook for 5 minutes, until golden brown, flipping once halfway through. Remove to a plate and set aside.

Add the broth, salsa verde, cream, uncooked pasta, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Cover, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Turn off the heat, then add the chicken and 1 cup of cheese to the skillet. Stir until smooth and creamy. Top with remaining ½ cup cheese and broil in the oven until golden brown and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Serve and enjoy!!
Enjoy this creamy, delicious meal and we hope your teams have weathered well in the play-offs so far this season!
Stay Cool,
