Garlic Chicken Pasta

The rest of that week, Rob was gone for 2 nights and Friday we had your Pan Roasted Chicken with Lemon Garlic Green Beans from January 11, 2016.  YUMM!!!!

Saturday we had ribs on the grill and slaw
Easter we went out. 

Monday I tweaked another old fort wayne recipe.   
It's from a spiral-isa bound cookbook called The Heart of Cooking and I think you have it too.   The recipe is Garlic Chicken Linguini but I'll tell you what I did:   

1 lb. chicken ~ cut into bites
1/2 c mushrooms ~ i didn't have any so just added a bunch of chopped onion instead
1 tsp chopped garlic
2 green onions ~ chopped
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
3/4 c fat free whipping cream
2 Tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 Tbsp water

Saute chicken in 1 Tbsp butter until almost done.   Add in mushrooms, green onion and spices.   
Add the whipping cream and bring to a boil
Then add cornstarch mixture to thicken

Add in cooked pasta.   It called for linguini but I had some penne so just used what I had.   

Chopped parsley may be sprinkled on for color
