Cooking Tips

Cooking Tips for Creole Chicken Pasta

If you don’t want to use chicken tenders you use chicken breast or chicken thighs, whatever your preference is, it’s on you because you are the king of the queen of your castle. You could also prepare easy crispy air fryer fried chicken for a different main course.

I think the butter is going to make it even more yummy.

If you want to make it a little bit more spicy you can add in a little bit more occasion and I think later on when I taste it all I wind up adding that in.

You can kind of play around with your Italian seasonings as well.

You can add in some you know if you don’t want to do dry basil you can just do a Italian blend or you can do more oregano because oregano is in there.

Normally you would just cut your chicken up and then put it back in.
