Creamy Herb & Garlic Chicken Pasta

February 20, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 3 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I am all about cooking a quick weeknight meal.  After working all day the last thing I want to do is cook dinner and I am sure a lot of you feel the same.  Today I am sharing with a super fast meal that is filling, low-calorie and tastes out of this world.  It is Creamy Herb & Garlic Chicken Pasta.  My family’s favorite meals are pasta dishes and they can tell you, I just don’t make pasta enough.  After sharing today’s recipe with my Husband, he was in love!  It’s kind of reminds me of an Alfredo chicken pasta dish, but way healthier for you.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Creamy Herb & Garlic Chicken Pasta Van’s sent me brand a bundle of brand new products that are just hitting the market and they asked me to test them out. So the second pasta that I tried out was Van’s Creamy Herb & Garlic Whole Grain and Lentil Pasta. It has 11 grams of protein and 28 grams of whole grains per serving. It’s made with brown rice flour, red lentil, beet powder and tomato powder. My Husband had no clue that it was gluten-free. If you know him, he is a total white pasta person and he has been loving Van’s Gluten-Free pastas.
Vans Gluten Free Pasta I have also tried Van’s Ultimate Cheddar Pasta with Whole Grain Rice and that was another hit. We served it as a side dish with our steak. My family loves Mac & Cheese and again, no clue it was Gluten-Free. You can check out the package here.

For my recipe today, it could totally be a side dish, but instead I wanted to make it a meal and it can easily serve four people.  I served my pasta dish with some bread and a side salad.  Simply perfect in my eyes.  I do want to tell you that the sauce blows my mind.  It’s has the perfect herb flavors, it’s creamy and delicious.  It complements the chicken perfectly.

Creamy Herb & Garlic Chicken Pasta Van’s also sent me their new Gluten Free Granola,  It is 130 calories  a serving and comes in Blueberry Walnut and Cranberry Almond.  The granola tastes like the topping of a fruit cobbler.  It’s sweet, filling and goes great on yogurt. Oh and it’s only 6 grams of sugar which is low considering how sweet it is.  Whether your gluten free or not, you must try these new products from Van’s.

The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
