Stove Top Chicken Ricotta Pasta

I mixed pasta, chicken, bacon, and mushrooms in a light ricotta sauce. Ricotta is relatively low in calories but high in protein.

  1. Stove Top Chicken Ricotta Pasta is a great way to use leftover or rotisserie chicken.
  2. As well, if you don’t like mushrooms, omit them.
  3. If you don’t have chicken stock or broth, add a chicken bouillon cube and 1/2 cup water from the pasta you boiled.
  4. Add a handful of fresh spinach if you have some on hand.
  5. You could also omit the chicken and bacon and have a delish meatless entrée or side.

Tips on searing meat

  • I recommend a large skillet to sear the chicken. Notably, you just can’t beat a cast-iron skillet!
  • Sear chicken on medium-high heat.
  • Also, it’s essential to use oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable or canola oil, to prevent the meat from burning.
  • Finally, when searing meat, don’t move it around. Allow it to sit and cook. It will be released from the pan when it’s ready. If it’s sticking to the pan, it’s not done searing.
