Creamy Chicken Pasta

Here is one of my favorite recipes. I really enjoy a good creamy chicken pasta. I have had only a couple of great ones in my life so I decided to create one. Its a really simple recipe and I know you will enjoy it as well.


Ingredients:


3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1pkt of linguine or spaghetti, cooked al dente (I used whole spaghetti)
1-2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup of chopped mushrooms (not to small)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 paprika
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

First bake or grill the chicken in the oven on 180C (350F) for about 20 mins. While you are waiting for the oven to warm fill a pot of water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Once the oven is heated up place your chicken in the oven. About 10 mins left with the chicken your water should be boiling enough to add the pasta. 10 mins for the pasta should be sufficient.

During the last 10 mins of the pasta and chicken cooking mix all your ingredients for the sauce. In a large saucepan add the heavy cream, tomatoes, mushrooms, basil, salt, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika and heat through. Set aside till chicken is finished cooking. 

Once the chicken is done, take out of the oven and slice. Add to the sauce. Drain the pasta and mix the sauce in the pasta. Finish

Serves 5-7

Herb of the Week/Female Reproductive Formula


This is a great herb to use during your Menstrual period. I have known a few women that have taken this herb to correct their periods and make them normal. Women have also told me that they have less to no pain during their periods and don't feel as sick. Seems like this would be a great herb for you women to take and plus I think your men will appreciate it haha.

Female Reproductive Formula: Many natural healers know this formula as the female corrective formula. This is an amazing combination of herbs to aid in rebuilding a malfunctioning reproductive system, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc. Over the years herbalists and patients have seen painful menstruations, heavy flowing, cramps, irregularity, etc., change to a painless menstrual period, good menstrual timing, and a new outlook on life by using these aids to readjust the malfunctioning areas.


Ailments historically treated: Amenorrhea, Bloating (Water Retention), Gonorrhea, Heavy Menstruation, Hot Flashes, Indigestion, Menstrual Conditions, Menopause, Miscarriage, PMS/PMT, Uterus.

Herbal Treatment Warning: Do not use during pregnancy or while nursing except as directed by your health care professional.

Chia Seeds

Been doing some studying lately on seeds and I have come across chia seed time and time again and the benefits they provide. Chia seeds are loaded with Omega-3, protein, magnesium, calcium and potassium. Benefits of the Chia seed include blood sugar balancing, lose weight without starving, more energy etc. The Chia seed is a small seed that you won't notice when adding to food, salad dressings or drinks. So far I have added the seed to my home made salad dressing. They add quite a nice taste to the dressing actually. This is a seed that can't be missed in your daily diet.
