Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

Hello there!

Kind of a different post tonight.

If you follow me on Facebook, you know

that I love to cook, and I often post about it.

Tonight I had some requests to share my

recipe for Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta,

and my sweet friend Ashley suggested that

I post it here on my blog, so that people

can pin it to their Pinterest accounts if they like.

So, here it is:

I love the taste of Chicken Cordon Bleu, but let's face it,

that dish can be a lot of work to make.

I wanted to keep the traditional flavors of the dish

but simplify it for those nights when you need something

quick and simple, but tasty and filling.

Here's the other thing.

 I am totally flattered when people ask for 

my recipes, but sometimes it's a little hard to do, 

since I rarely cook with any measurements.

You don't need any for this.

It's as simple as can be!

Christy's Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

Ingredients:

1 package skinless boneless chicken strips or breasts (strips cook faster and chop easier)

1 package pasta (I like Farfalle, but any medium-sized pasta will do)

1 jar Alfredo sauce (sometimes I make my own, but jarred can be just as good)

6-8 slices deli ham

6-8 slices swiss cheese (I like Lorraine or Heidi Ann - the kind with tons of tiny holes)

salt and pepper 

Directions:

Get your pasta water going.

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and saute chicken until just cooked through. (Season your chicken with salt and pepper before adding to the pan).

Remove cooked chicken to a cutting board and rough chop into bite-sized pieces.

Add pasta to boiling water.

Dice your ham and cheese slices. (I just stack them all up on top of each other and go to town. ;o)

Drain your cooked pasta.

Add Alfredo sauce to hot, empty pot.

Dump in pasta and all other ingredients.

Add salt and pepper.

Stir. 

Serve.

Didn't I tell you it was simple? :o)

If you make it, come back and tell me!
