Creamy Chicken and Basil Pasta

Ingredients

  • 300-400g fresh tricolour fettuccine
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, peeled, finely sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled, crushed
  • 300g chicken breast, skin and bones removed
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas, blanched
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock (made with 1/2 stock cube dissolved in 1/2 cup water)
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup grated or shaved parmesan
  • salt to taste

Method

  • Cook the fettuccine according to the packet instructions and drain.
  • In a frying pan, heat the oil and sauté the onions, garlic and chicken until the chicken is cooked. Add the peas, stock and cream and simmer for 1 minute.
  • Add the cooked pasta, basil and parmesan. Simmer for a few minutes until the pasta is heated through and the sauce is creamy. Season well and serve with the extra parmesan.
  • Smart Tip: If the creamy sauce becomes too sticky before serving, add a few tablespoons of boiling water. You can use leftover roast chicken meat in this recipe.
  • pepper to taste

Cinnamon Pancakes

WHAT YOU’LL NEED: 

1/2 cup of butter

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup cream cheese

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup pancake mix (you can buy this from a local corner shop or supermarket!)

3/4 cup milk

1 tablespoon oil

1 egg

METHOD: 

  1. In a melt half of the butter (1/4 cup) over a low heat. When melted, add the cream cheese and mix until smooth
  2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla to the pan and stir. (Hint: Your glaze may harden slightly during the rest of the prep time, to melt simply stir over a low heat until desired consistency is reached)
  3. Next, we need to make the cinnamon mix! Melt the other half of the butter in a pan and in a bowl mix the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Scoop into an icing bag. (Hint: If you don’t have an icing bag, scoop into a zip lock bag and snip a small corner off)
  4. In a medium bowl combine the pancake mix (easiest pancake option when travelling!), milk, egg and oil. Stir until smooth. 
  5. Heat a large non-stick fry pan over a medium heat and pour in a 1/3 cup of batter
  6. Swirl or squiggle the cinnamon butter mix on the uncooked batter and cook as normal
  7. Once you’ve cooked up a stack, drizzle your cream cheese glaze over them and enjoy!
