  • 4-6 oz. Country Pasta Homemade Style Wide Egg Noodles
  • 1 - 14.5 oz. can Fire Roasted Tomatoes
  • 2 1/2 c. chicken stock (make sure that there is enough liquid to cover noodles once they are pressed down)

Close lid and set manual timer for 10 minutes on high pressure. When timer goes off, allow for 3 minutes of Natural Pressure Release then quick release. *Note that a longer Natural Pressure Release will result in softer noodles.

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs. Roma Tomatoes - halved
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil + more for tomato roasting
  • 5 oz. Homemade Style Wide Egg Pasta
  • 2 Tbsp garlic - finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup cilantro - roughly chopped, divided
  • 1 lb. chicken breast - cubed
  • Feta cheese and lime wedges for topping

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400F. Place halved tomatoes on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Roast for 30 minutes, or until they begin to caramelize. Once tomatoes are cool enough to handle, roughly chop and set aside.
  2. While tomatoes are roasting, heat a large stock pot over medium high heat. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil and pasta. Cook until pasta begins to brown (this will take about a minute). Next add the onion, garlic, oregano and cumin. Cook until the onion is softened. Add the stock and 3/4 cup of cilantro. Bring to a simmer and add the cubed chicken breast. Cook chicken thoroughly.
  3. Add the tomatoes to the soup mixture and continue to cook for a few minutes allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Divide soup into servings and top with Feta, Lime wedges, and remaining cilantro.

Notes

This recipe was a huge hit with the Country Pasta team. For this soup we do suggest gently breaking up the pasta into smaller "spoonable" noodles.

Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 3 boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 4 tsp of Cajun Seasoning
  • 4 Tbsp of Butter
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, finely diced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper, finely diced
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • ½ tsp Dried Basil
  • ½ tsp Lemon Pepper
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Garlic Powder
  • ¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 8 oz Country Pasta
  • Parmesan Cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker and cover with Cajun seasoning.
  2. Next add the remaining ingredients except for the pasta, and set the slow cooker on high. *Note the high setting will cook the chicken in about two and half hours. If you prefer a longer cook time set the slow cooker on low for about 4 hours.
  3. Once chicken is fully cooked; shred the chicken and stir to combine with other ingredients.
  4. When chicken and sauce mixture are complete; cook pasta according to package directions. *Note the pasta will take about 20 minutes to cook to al dente. For timing purposes we suggest beginning to cook the pasta while you shred the chicken and finish the sauce.
  5. When pasta is cooked to al dente; drain water and top with Cajon Chicken Alfredo mixture. Garnish with Parmesan if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Chef's Note: We opted not to use the green peppers and instead added mushrooms which were a great addition to this dish.
