SPICY CHICKEN PASTA

October 19, 2016

Our Spicy Chicken Pasta, made with Gilly Loco Smokey Chipotle Salsa is a great dish and has always been a crowd pleaser. Serve with good garlic bread. You may also like this recipe when made with our Traditional or Tomatillo salsas or simply adding bacon that has been cooked and diced. Additionally, you can always try different pastas like Angel Hair or Rotini. Use your favorite.

Assemble:

2 Tablespoon of Vegetable Oil
1 Shallot, Minced
1⁄2 Cup of White Wine
4 tbsp (half stick) of Butter
1 Cup Half and Half Cream
1 Cup Gilly Loco Salsa (I suggest Smokey Chipotle, but Traditional and Tomatillo both will work great also.)
1 Rotisserie Chicken, meat plucked and shredded
1⁄2 Cup Parmesan Cheese, Shredded
1⁄2 Cup Cilantro, minced
1 lb. Package Penne Regata Pasta (cooked to package directions)

Instructions:

1. In a large sauté pan heat oil on medium heat.
2. Once hot add shallots and sauté until soft
   and translucent, about 3 minutes.
3. Add wine and reduce liquid.
4. Once wine is reduced to almost dry, reduce heat to medium low.
5. Add butter to pan and
   swirl until completely melted.
6. Slowly whisk in cream then the salsa and bring to a light simmer.
7.  Add chicken to the pan.
8. Once hot add cooked pasta to pan and toss together.
9. Serve hot and sprinkle Cilantro and Parmesan cheese over this spicy chicken dish to garnish.Be Spicy My Friends!
