Here is yet another wonderful dish for a cold winter’s night. It is so good, creamy, full of flavor and very awesome. And can be put together quickly on a work night.
As with any dish that combines cream, chicken and pasta, I usually add a bit of ground nutmeg. It adds a warmth to the dish that can’t be matched nor can anyone guess the flavoring! You just wouldn’t think “nutmeg”. With this dish, I added about a half teaspoon or so to the mixture (when I added the chicken broth and cream). It is soooo good and makes such a subtle difference. Try it!
This is a great dish to serve for guests. It does come together quickly so you’re not in the kitchen all night preparing the meal. You can actually cook, serve, and enjoy your guests!
And as always, you’ll thank me later!!
