Sweet Onion Pulled Chicken Pasta
Every Tuesday in my house we normally have Taco Tuesday, its one of those dinner nights that the kids really look forward too because they can dress their own tacos. A few weeks ago I decided instead of the regular ground beef Tacos that I normally make I would try to make pulled chicken. Needless to say it turned out great, I made my own taco seasoning and made use of my crock pot. I will share that recipe with you on another day. I had alot of pulled chicken left over and being that I don’t believe in wasting food, I was looking for some type of meal that I could make for the kids where I could use up the rest of the meat I had on hand. I literally had about 35 minutes to come up with something just before I picked the kids up.
I started rummaging through the cupboard looking to see what I could find to throw together. I will admit it was a little difficult because the pulled chicken was seasoned to make tacos. But I said hey what is the worst that could happen, I ended up pulling out some Penne Pasta, Fire flamed red Peppers, Cucumbers, Cherry Tomatoes and of course various seasonings and I got to work and came up with a master piece that my family gobbled up in no time. So with that being said I am sharing a quick recipe for my Sweet Onion Pulled Chicken Pasta its great for days like mine where I had no idea what to cook and I had very little time to put something edible together. I hope your family loves this recipe as much as mine did.

24/06/2016 at 12:54 pmDelicious once again! I wish I could find some crushed chilly flakes here – I have run out of them. They give such a great and picant flavour.

That’s a creative way to eat left overs. Kids (at least mine) don’t want to eat left overs, but since kids love pasta (if served once a month) this should do the trick. Thanks for sharing!
27/06/2016 at 10:33 pmThis looks delicious, and I’ve been trying to find more recipes using chicken. Pinning!
