Chicken with veggie macaroni and white wine sauce

This recipe happened by accident.  I had a huge bottle of white wine to use, I went to the store to get haddock, mushrooms and onion but didn't find any interesting at the fish counter so that's what happened instead.

Chicken with veggie macaroni and white wine sauce

Ingredients 

1 tablespoon                                                    Oil

2                                                                          Chicken breasts

2                                                                          Big carrots, diced

1/2                                                                       Fennel

1/2 cup                                                               String beans

1 clove                                                               Garlic

1 cup                                                                  Cherry tomatoes quatered   

1/2 cup                                                               White wine

1 cup                                                                  Cooked macaroni

About 1/4 cup                                                   Pecorino cheese (or parmesan)

1/4 teaspoon                                                     Red pepper flakes 

Freshly ground black pepper to taste 

1 tablespoon                                                    Parsley

Directions 

Heat the oil on medium high,  add the chicken breasts, cook for 5 minutes.  Flip the chicken and scatter the carrot dice all around the breast and cook 5 more minutes.  Remove the breasts and add the beans, cook for 1 minutes then add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds and add the cherry tomatoes,  wine, deglaze the pan with a wooden spoon. 

Place the chicken back in the pan, lower the heat to medium low, cover and cook for 5 minutes.  Flip the chicken one more time, add the pasta, the cheese, cover and cook 5 to 10 more minutes or until fully cooked through.

Scott doesn't eat onion, he eats fennel so that's the substitute here which makes me happy because it is very tasty.  Don't give up with your picky ones, keep on asking them to try new flavors.

Make it à la your family, cook veggies, be healthy and bon appétit!
