Chicken Pastaladas

***If you've already made this, I'm so sorry! But I have a change to make. It was haunting me in bed last night. (Yes, I'm crazy.) I think if you opt to use the canned cream of onion soup, it'll turn out too dry with not enough sauce. SO...I made a change below.

Here's an easy breezy recipe named for it's similar flavor to Chicken Enchiladas, but instead of tortillas it's served with whole wheat pasta! Jude (age 2) ate this up and even asked for more!

Chicken Pastaladas
  • 4 chicken breasts (cut into 2 in strips, use scissors- it's easier!)
  • chopped onion & bell pepper to taste
  • 1 can cream of onion soup w/ 1 cup milk (OR 1 packet onion soup prepared w/ 2 cups of milk, instead of water)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • shredded cheese (optional)
  • whole wheat pasta spirals
Preheat oven to 400F. Place chicken strips in pan, sprinkle with onion & bell pepper. Mix Onion Soup with taco seasoning and pour over chicken. Bake at 400F for 30min. In last 5 min, top with cheese. Serve with whole wheat pasta spirals.

(For those who are wondering, I brought taco seasoning with me from the States!)

This is another one of your inventions, isn't it? You failed to share that part. It sounds delicious!!

(Guess what, Sal! One of my Kraft magazines suggested the idea of adding dry Koolaid to cookies or cupcakes! They are like 15 years behind you on this idea!)

love you,

Oh Mary! You're SO funny!
Bet that's the last time you mock one of my creations, huh? Even way back when I was a genius in the kitchen. Ha!
I love you bunches and bunches.
Lemme know if your precious tot likes it too. I'm curious as to whether or not my kid is just a TexMex fiend...
Mmmm. TexMex. Can't wait for the real thing!
Sal
P.s. Miss you too Emo!

I was wondering about the taco seasoning...

Thank you for the detailed recipe. I'm definitely the kind who needs to follow strict instructions. When I read Heather's blog about that I totally thought of the many conversations you and I have had while swapping recipes.

I love you!

Do you remember Gerbert??

(Think real hard.)

It was on TV today and I thought of you.

Also our pa.tor quoted Alan Alda from M.A.S.H. last Sunday... I thought of you then, too.

Sweet memories.

For the life of me I can't remember Gerbert!! I'll have to look into it! And OH the good ole days of late nights and M*A*S*H!! We were probably the only two high school girls on the planet who watched that show!!
I LOVE YOU!
