If you're cooking for two, simply double the recipe.
Servings: 1 person
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk , the thicker, the better.
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 3-4 oz. diced chicken
- 1 cup vegetables , you pick!
- cooking spray, or oil
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Heat up a pot of water. Once boiling, cook the pasta.
- While heating the water, spray (or spread) a large skillet with cooking spray or oil. First cook the cup of vegetables, seasoned with salt and pepper, for about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Spray the pan again and cook the diced chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper. Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, add the vegetables back into the pan.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the skillet. Mix until the mozzarella cheese is just about melted.
- Add in the milk. Stir occasionally. The milk should bubble and start to thicken.
- After 3-4 minutes, add the cooked pasta. Stir together and cook on heat for another 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the dish sit for another 5 minutes. This will allow for the sauce to thicken. Stir occasionally during this process to smooth it out.
