2-21...spinach fettuccine w mushrooms, baby broccoli, and chicken

This was one of those "cook what's in the fridge" dinners.


INGREDIENTS:

Fettuccine
Baby broccoli
Portabello mushrooms
Chicken breast
Olive oil
Garlic and onion
Celery
Dry white win
Lemon juice
Tomatoes
Dry basil, oregano,

PROCESS:

Brown the chicken and remove.  Saute the garlic, onion, and celery until soft, then add the mushrooms and cook for about 5- 10 minutes before adding the broccoli.  Cut the chicken into bite size pieces and add to the pan, along with the seasoning and several splashes of wine.  About 4-5 minutess before the pasta is ready add some lemon juice and several slices of small fresh tomatoes (more for coloring than anything else).



COMMENTS:

This made good use of the ingredients on hand.  Bacon would have added another dimension, but the chicken breast was thawed and had to be used.
