Chicken Cheese Pasta with Peas


It is what it says it is: Chicken, Peas and Linguine with Cheese Sauce over the top.

The guys liked it. I tried to "lighten" it up by using asiago gratings instead of the cheddar sauce for my portion. Mine was healthier but definitely less flavorful. It was a bit bland, but a fine meal anyhow.

Chicken Cheese Pasta with Peas
2 boneless chicken breasts chopped into bite-sized pieces
1-2 T olive oil
16 oz frozen peas
2 teaspoons fresh or 1 teaspoon dry oregano
ground pepper to taste
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 c cream
1T flour
linguini - cooked al denti

Cook your chicken pieces in a skillet using the olive oil. Add the peas , oregano and pepper to the fully cooked chicken. In a separate sauce pan place your grated cheddar, cream and flour. Whisk together as you cook over low heat until smooth.
Plate your linguine, then top with the chicken and peas mixture and pour cheese sauce over the top. Enjoy!
