Green Giant product(s) used: Green Giant® Cut Green Beans

Lists of ingredients:

  • 8 ounces bowtie pasta
    2 Tablespoons olive oil
    1 pound chicken breast, sliced into 1-inch pieces
    ½ teaspoon salt
    ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    ½ cup julienned oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained, oil reserved
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    ½ cup chicken broth
    1 Tablespoon tomato paste
    1 cup heavy cream
    ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
    ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
    1 can (14.5 ounces) Green Giant® Cut Green Beans, drained
    ¼ cup chopped fresh basil for serving

STEPS

1 Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta cooks, heat oil over medium in a large skillet. Season chicken breast with salt and pepper and cook 8-10 minutes, until evenly browned and cooked through (to 165°F). Transfer to a plate.
2 Add 2 tablespoons of oil from sun-dried tomatoes to skillet. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add chicken broth and deglaze pan, scraping up any browned bits.
3 Add tomato paste, sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream and Italian seasoning to skillet. Stir until tomato paste is dissolved. Once sauce is steaming, stir in parmesan cheese.
4 Add drained pasta, chicken, and green beans to sauce. Stir to coat. Cook 2-3 minutes to heat through.
5 Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.

TIPS & TRICKS

Pasta and green beans are a natural combination. Try adding our Cut Green Beans to pasta with pesto, marinara, or Alfredo sauce for added flavor, color and vegetable goodness.

If you don’t have bowtie pasta, you can substitute fusilli, rigatoni, shells or penne. And if you’d like to take things in a seafood direction, you can substitute salmon, shrimp, or scallops for the chicken.

Serve this dish with a green salad on the side and plenty of warm crusty bread or garlic bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
