Creamy Garlic Chicken

You know when it is 5 o'clock and you have no clue what you are going to make for dinner? So you open your fridge and decide you can throw together something eatable out of the random things in there. That is pretty much what I did here, but it turned out so good that I figured I'd better record what I did so I could make it again sometime in the future, because my kids couldn't get enough of it!

Creamy Garlic Chicken


Chicken mixture:                           
  -2 cloves of garlic, minced            
  -1 medium onion, diced                
  -1 bell pepper, diced                            
  -1 large tomato, diced                  
  -1 chicken breast, diced              
  -1 tsp Italian seasoning
  -2 tbsp olive oil


Garlic Sauce:
   -1/2 c butter
   -2 cloves of garlic, minced
   -1 tbsp flour
   -1 c milk
   -salt and pepper, to taste

-Pasta of choice

-Saute chicken with the olive oil and seasoning. Add the vegetables and cook until they reach desired tenderness.

-In a sauce pan, melt the butter with the garlic. Whisk in the flour and cook for a few minutes, until thick. Whisk in the milk until smooth and cook over medium heat until the flour is fully cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste and pour over the chicken mixture, and continue to simmer over medium low heat for 5-10 minutes while your pasta cooks.

-Bring water to a boil and add pasta. Cook until pasta is tender. Drain.

Plate pasta and spoon on desired amount of chicken garlic sauce. Enjoy!
