Wide Noodles with Chicken and Lima Beans
Ingredients
  • 8
    ounces dried pappardelle or mafalda pasta, fettuccine, or wide egg noodles
  • 1
    10 ounce package frozen baby lima beans
  • 1
    14 1/2 ounce can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
  • 6
    ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1
    small onion, cut into wedges
  • 1/4
    teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 1
    tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4
    cup chicken broth
  • 1/4
    cup whipping cream
  • Finely shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, adding lima beans to the water with pasta. Drain pasta and beans; return to saucepan.

2. Meanwhile, place undrained tomatoes in a food processor bowl or blender container. Cover and process or blend until pureed; set aside.

3. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. For sauce, cook chicken, onion, and pepper in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Reduce heat; stir in tomatoes and chicken broth. Simmer for 5 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in cream; simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more or until sauce is desired consistency.

4. Pour sauce over pasta mixture; toss gently to coat. Transfer pasta mixture to a warm serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Makes 4 servings.
