If there is a recipe in my collection that I have been making for years, this has got to be this. I've been making this pasta for so long, I cannot remember where I got the recipe from. I love everything about it - the zestiness, the creaminess, and well the flavors bond. Although it is on a heavier side with 1C of mayo, I usually reduce it to 1/2 and some milk till it has consistency of yogurt.
- 1 lb medium shaped uncooked pasta
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (sriracha, Frank's, etc)
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1/2 cup(s) chopped red onion
- 1 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup cup milk
- Prepare pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, combine paprika, salt, garlic powder and pepper; sprinkle over chicken, stirring to coat.
- Add 1 teaspoon oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken to skillet and saute over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add hot sauce; cook 1 minute. Remove chicken from skillet. Add remaining teaspoon of oil to skillet; add celery and onion and saute 2 minutes.
- Combine mayonnaise and milk in a small bowl. Add to vegetables in skillet. Add chicken. Stir constantly and cook over medium-low heat until thoroughly heated.
- When pasta is done, drain and return to pot. Add contents of skillet to pot and mix well. Transfer to serving dish and sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.
