Angel Hair Chicken

Angel hair chicken is such an easy dish to put together but ever so elegant and delicious. I always make it for a midweek meal due to the fact it only takes half an hour to make. It is composed of a combination of ingredients such as boneless, skinless chicken breasts, carrots, broccoli, angel hair pasta, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper. All of these most people have in their pantries and fridges. 

You can use spaghetti noodles in a pinch, but there is just something about the texture of the angel hair pasta that makes it so unique. Of course, the spices of your choice can be used. In example, a bit of rosemary or thyme would never hurt, I use boneless, skinless breasts because they are so easy to work with and healthy, but you can use other cuts of chicken as well.

It’s also a great dish to serve up for social events as it so easy to make, pretty, and simple.Believe me, the entire family, friends, and even the kids will love the dish.

Try it and enjoy your angel hair chicken.
