Cassie’s Ruminations

A quick chicken and pasta dinner

Even on shore duty, Shaun still sometimes has late nights or times when he’s out. This is a very quick and easy meal that probably isn’t blog-worthy, but, hey, it was tasty.

Quick Chicken and Pasta Dinner

Serves 1

4 oz small pasta (I used Barilla elbows)

½ bag of pre-cooked chicken strips (such as Tyson Grilled Chicken Strips)

½ cup frozen peas

1 tsp olive oil

a dash of black pepper

½ tsp oregano

1 small clove garlic, pressed

Boil the pasta according to the box directions (usually 7-8 minutes for smaller pasta), making sure to salt the water well. In the last minute of cooking, add the peas. Meanwhile, heat the chicken in the microwave. Drain the pasta and peas, add to the chicken, and toss with remaining ingredients to combine.
