This was a good start to a great recipe. It was a little bland but I was inspired so I made it again last night.
My changes:
I seasoned the chicken after it was cubed. I added some garlic and onion powders and salt and black pepper.
I used about 1/2 the oil to cook the chicken but added 1/2T of butter (great flavor of butter but the nice high burning point of olive oil)
I did not drain the chicken on paper towels--so much yummy flavor would be wasted that way!
I boiled the pasta in 1/2 water, 1/2 chicken stock (I just added a tablespoon or two of chicken bullion to the boiling water)
I cooked the veggies as suggested but removed them before I added the broth.
I made a roux (melted butter cooked with the same amount of white flour) and then added twice the chicken broth and basil. The stock will thicken and make a very flavorful sauce that is just wonderful on the pasta.
Finally, I left out the cheese. I don't really care for parmesan.
Sue, thank you for a wonderful start and great inspiration!
