1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1Chicken breast, trimmed well and diced
3Cloves of garlic, diced or sliced thin
2tablespoonsOlive oil
2tablespoonsButter
2Pinches of dried sage
1largePortabello mushroom, cleaned and diced
3ouncesBleu cheese, crumbled
4ouncesFresh fettucini (i used garlic-basil)

Directions

had a most wonderful dinner tonite ... thought i'd pass it along. These portions are for serving 1, maybe 2 tops.

Cook the pasta in lightly salted water until al dente, strain and set aside.

Melt the butter in a pan on medium-high heat, add the garlic and sautee lightly. Then add the chicken and the sage and cook until the chicken is about ½ done. then add the mushrooms and the olive oil. cook till chicken is just tender and add the bleu cheese and toss well over medium heat, melting the cheese lightly.

I like to add the pasta back into the skillet, with the cheese-chicken mixture, so it gets coated well and warmed up, then serve directly onto the plate with generous portions of crusty french bread. I topped with diced scallion, too.

Drank a Beringer Howell Mountain Merlot (91) with this and it was FAB!!! I am munching the rest of the cheese with some crackers while sippin' the rest of the wine right now!!!
