Mild Blue Cheese Chicken Pasta

By: Aysegul Sanford / @foolproofliving

 

 

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pasta
  • Salt
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup Treasure Cave Mild Crumbled Blue Cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Save 1 cup of pasta water, drain and set aside.
  2. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper on all sides and cut into cubes.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add chicken and cook until fully cooked and browned on all sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan. If need be, do this in two batches.
  4. Transfer chicken to a platter and cover with foil.
  5. In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add onion and cook until softened, 6-8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. If need be, use 1-2 tablespoons of reserved pasta water to help scrape the bits at the bottom of the pan.
  6. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and cook, stirring constantly, until warmed through or until lightly simmering, about 3 minutes.
  7. Add heavy cream and Treasure Cave Mild Crumbled Blue Cheese and stir until the cheese is partially melted and sauce comes to a simmer. If it is too thick, use pasta water to thin it out a half-cup at a time.
  8. Add pasta and chicken and stir to combine.
  9. Garnish with parsley and serve.
