Cuban Chicken Pasta

                                                                                                   

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise.  Proverbs 11:30

8 boneless skinless chicken tenderloins, pounded and cut into tiny bites

1 box angel hair pasta, cooked al dente 

cuban rub(recipe on this blog under the rubs tag)

2 T olive oil

1 thinly sliced leek

1 diced carrot

1/4 t sugar

Juice of a lime

Zest of 1/2 of a lime

1/2 c heavy whipping cream 

1/2 c pasta water

1/2 c half and half

4 T chopped sun-dried tomatoes 

Smoked salt and black cracked pepper

1T roasted garlic 

1/4 cup Italian 4 cheese blend 

Cook pasta and set aside reserving 1 c pasta water.

Season chicken with rub and sear in oil, remove and set aside.

Squirt lime juice on chicken. 

When cooking veggies add extra oil if needed.

Take veggies, garlic, sugar, zest, and chopped sun dried tomatoes and sauté. 

When veggies are done add the cream, water, cheese and half and half, add salt and pepper.

Add the chicken back into the sauce and slowly toss in pasta.

I use small tongs which work great. 

Enjoy!!
