    Got any pesto? Very tasty around chicken, pasta, just stir it in, and great with cheese on top! If he's young he may prefer tomato pesto, boys can be funny with weird flavours!

    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    2 cups shredded store-bought rotisserie chicken
    1 cup frozen baby peas
    1/2 cup chicken broth
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    Pinch cayenne pepper
    12 ounces wagon wheels or other short pasta
    1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling
    1 tablespoon butter
    Salt

    1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and heat through. Stir in the peas, broth, garlic and cayenne and simmer until the broth has reduced slightly, about 2 minutes. Keep warm over low heat.
    2. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta for 5 minutes. Drain and add to the chicken. Stir in the 1/2 cup cheese and butter and simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the pasta is al dente, about 3 minutes. Season with salt, if necessary, and serve with grated cheese on top. Enjoy!

    I make a chicken dish that my sons love.

    **3 (un-breaded) chicken breasts cooked thoroughly and cubed
    (I usually fry it in a bit of olive oil)
    **Salt and Pepper to taste
    **Garlic powder to taste
    **1 large can of whole tomatoes (broken up into bit sized pieces)
    **one good sized bunch of broccoli
    (can use frozen if fresh isn't available)
    **one pound of pasta of choice, cooked as directed

    add the first 3 ingredients and toss gently.

    Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve.

    You can adjust the amounts according to the number of people you need to serve.

    Fast, Easy and Tasty!

    Bayou Chicken Pasta
    Emeril Lagasse

    1 pound linguine
    1/4 cup kosher salt
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
    2 tablespoons Essence, recipe follows
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
    1 tablespoon finely chopped habanero pepper
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    1 1/2 cups heavy cream
    1 cup diced tomatoes
    1/2 cup reserved pasta cooking water
    1/2 cup chopped green onion tops
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

    Set a large 1-gallon stock pot of water to a boil and add the kosher salt. Place the linguine in the pot and stir until the water returns to a boil. Cook the pasta until tender, but with a bit of resistance (al dente), about 12 minutes.
    While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Set a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan. Once the butter has melted, season the chicken with 1 tablespoon of the Essence and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and add the chicken to the pan. Sear the chicken until well browned on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
    Add the onions and habaneros to the pan and sauté until the onions are softened and lightly caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
    Add the cream, remaining 1 tablespoon of Essence, remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and the chicken to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce until the cream is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, linguine and the reserved cooking water to the pan and cook, tossing to incorporate for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and add the green onions, Parmesan and parsley and toss to blend. Serve immediately.
