This is scrumptious - need I say more?

A yummy mediterrean inspired side item for a hot summer day.

Can substitute whipping cream alternative & whole wheat pasta to decrease calories. Salt is an ingredient but I don't use it since I make my chicken broth with bouillon which tends to be saltier.

This recipe can be varied to fit almost whatever fresh veggies you have lying around, but this combination seems to work just about the best of any. It's a light flavor and a decently quick and nutritious meal for any family on a tight schedule.

Ingredients
1 quart water
4 skinned and boned chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
8 ounces uncooked bow tie pasta
1 cup chicken broth
1 celery rib, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (8-ounce) package pasteurized prepared cheese product, cubed
Garnish: chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
Bring 1 quart salted water to a boil in a Dutch oven. Add chicken, and cook 12 minutes or until done. Remove chicken from water with a slotted spoon. Add pasta to water in Dutch oven, and cook 10 minutes or until tender; drain. Keep warm.
Heat 1/4 cup broth over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven; add celery and onion, and cook 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in chicken, soup, cheese, and remaining 3/4 cup chicken broth, stirring until cheese is melted. Toss with pasta; garnish, if desired. Serve immediately.

This is a delicious, very addictive and quite lean recipe i enjoy having that really gets you alot of nutrients!

If you want to make this recipe even leaner then you should change to a wheat pasta, and leave out the butter.
