It has been a few days since I posted anything. I am still alive and kicking. Busy getting ready for Valentine's Day and trying out a new recipe.
I had some leftover chicken from our Sunday Dinner and decided to make a totally new recipe tonight for supper. Harvey loved it and had second helpings. I did change the recipe up a bit as I did not have some of the ingredients to hand. It still tasted wonderful.
Here it is.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3RvU29H1yqjWjopnQ4CxuPAxtmYwkWUNm-yDhLxCwUlgwYxSg5drc8fX4-2rutZXHu_oPGYkTxmC4-NB1Pkn4bm6C106K3XRqQ1naQkLe63rGCjxLoCtrjPs7L2U2ny6RVG8ZfU2FLjgR/s320/IMG_0170.JPG)
Chicken and Mushroom Pasta
Company's Coming Leftover Cookbook
3 cups medium bow pasta ( I used penne)
12 cups boiling water
2 tsp salt
Cook pasta in boiling water and salt in a large pot for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but firm. Drain. Return to pot. Cover to keep warm.
1 tbsp oil
1 cup thinly sliced onion
Heat oil in frying pan. Add onion and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often until onion is softened.
2 cups sliced white mushrooms
2 cups sliced brown mushrooms
1/2 tsp garlic powder
I did not have fresh mushrooms so used 2 cans of drained mushrooms. Add these to the cooked onion and cook for about 5 minutes. Or if using fresh until liquid is evaporated.
3/4 cup chicken broth
4 oz cream cheese cut up
Add broth to the mushroom mixture and bring to a boil. Add cut up cream cheese. Heat and stir until cheese is melted.
1 cup chopped leftover cooked chicken
1 tbsp dried parsley
Add chicken and parsley to the frying pan. Heat and stir until chicken is heated through. Add to pasta. Toss. Makes about 6 cups. Enough to serve 4.
Now for the fun stuff. I had a great deal of chocolate left from Christmas and decided to pull out the lollipop molds. I have been busy making Chocolate Lollipops for the students. Harvey thought they were so cute he asked me if I could make a few extra for the girls at work.
Hopefully I will be finished up tonight.
