Playing with recipes (Creamy Chicken Spaghetti)

Pasta is one of the fastest meals to prepare when you return home tired and just want to prepare something less stressful, delicious and fast. There are over a thousand ways to make them differently so you don't get bored of eating same, guess it is the same for every meal...lol.
This may not be one of the fastest meals though, its usually fast when you have a sauce ready to microwave and just need to boil the pasta but i guarantee you that you would enjoy this meal and make it again and again with different variations.
We are going to make a very creamy and yummy chicken pasta with chicken breast.

Ingredients
  •  chicken breast
  •  spaghetti/pasta, cooked and drained
  •  onion, finely chopped
  •  garlic, finely minced
  •  chicken broth

  •  milk
  •  butter 
  •  carrots
  •  green pepper
  •  yellow ball pepper
  •  red ball pepper 
  •  cornflour
  •  mushroom chopper (optional)


Method

1. Melt butter in a sauce pan large enough to hold your spaghetti/pasta. Saute onion and garlic until soft.
2. Stir in the chicken and saute until cooked.
3. Add the mushroom, carrots, green, yellow and red pepper. Add salt and pepper.
4. Pour in the chicken stock. basil and parsley and salt. 
5. Add cream. Mix cornflour with enough milk to make a thick paste. Pour mixture into the sauce and mix well until the sauce thickens, if it is too thick add a little milk.
