What We Cook: Mediterranean Chicken Pasta ~ page 133

Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Mediterranean Chicken Pasta ~ page 133

We had this for dinner last night, and it was delicious! Even Ben, who for some strange reason doesn't tend to like creamy pasta dishes, went back for seconds. I didn't take a picture though, because I altered a lot of the vegetables and didn't think it was very representative of the written recipe... but it is an easy recipe to play around with. I didn't have artichokes or kalamata olives (so it wasn't really all that Mediterranean) but I did use capers and regular canned black olives, and added some onion and mushrooms to give it an extra veggie, so I didn't have to fix anything on the side. I also used half and half instead of cream and I didn't think it was lacking at all! Yum!
