Speedy Chicken Stir Fry - Stef

I got this recipe from my sister Jess and it is now Matt's all time favorite meal. It is fast and delish!

8 oz angel hair pasta, uncooked
2 C broccoli florets
1 package boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
1/2 C Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

Cook pasta as directed on the package, adding broccoli to the boiling water for the last three minutes. Meanwhile spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until cooked through, stirring occasionally. Stir in dressing, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Cook for one minute stirring occasionally. Drain pasta mixture and add to the chicken mixture mix lightly.

Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry -Emily

We did a Relief Society Luncheon with 100 different ways to use Top Ramen. This was my recipe. If there are other good ones I will post them later!

2 packages chicken Ramen Noodles
1 package Stir-Fry Vegetables (I use a Mediterranean blend)
1 can chicken or 1 chicken breast diced and sautéd
Chow Mein noodles or uncooked Ramen noodles crumbled

Cook noodles (don’t add seasoning). Drain off water. In a sauté pan, cook vegetables and add in chicken. When vegetables are cooked through add noodles to pan. Season with the seasoning packets and stir. Top with crunchy Chow Mein noodles and serve.

Easy Pasta Salad -Emily

1 package spiral noodles (I use the multi-colored ones)
1 small package pepperoni
1 bottle Italin dressing
Cheddar cheese (shredded or cubed)
Parmesan cheese
Raw Veggies of your liking (olives, carrots, cucumber, cauliflower, and broccoli)

This is really easy! Cook pasta as directed. Cut up pepperoni and veggies to bite size. Add to pasta. Add in as much or as little cheddar cheese as you would like. Stir in dressing and Parmesan to taste. Chill before serving. Right before you serve it stir in just a little more dressing. (It seems to soak up while it is chilling and becomes a little dry.)

Creamy Chicken Pasta- Emily

2 Large Chicken Breast
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream
1 large handful of shredded cheddar cheese
milk
pasta of your choice (I usually use spaghetti or macaroni)

Cook pasta as directed on package (I buy my noodles in bulk so I don't have specific package size sorry. Just cook however much looks like enough for the number of people you are cooking for.) Dice chicken breasts into bite sized chunks. In sauce pot season chicken with garlic, onion, pepper, and seasoned salt to taste. Brown chicken. Add in soups and sour cream. Stir until creamy. Add in milk until you have the thickness you want. Lastly, add in cheese. Heat until cheese is melted. You can mix all of your sauce with your noodles or you can dish it up separately. (Mixing it all together makes it go further.)

Bacon Tortellini

This is TO DIE FOR but super bad for you, and it does not make good leftovers so its best if you eat it all in one sitting.

2 c. heavy cream
1 stick butter
1/4 to 1/2 c. fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic powder, optional
1 Package Tortellini
8 strips cooked crumbled bacon
parsley.

Cook tortellini according to package directions. To make sauce, heat cream and butter over medium heat until butter is melted, stirring constantly. Add cheese, stirring until thickened slightly (low heat). Pour sauce over tortellini, add bacon, and parsley and serve.
