Hello Friends! We just got from a transatlantic trip and I am now trying to get used to the time change. We have been enjoying our weekend and loved getting together with friends as we head into the holiday season

Today I am sharing an easy weeknight chicken recipe that can be made rather quickly on the stove. It is a delicious pasta recipe made with fresh basil from my garden. Recipes with Basil are perfect for the season

For more Chicken pasta recipes that are perfect for the season, try my Bacon Ranch Chicken Pasta, My Chicken Alfredo Pasta, and this Chicken Bacon Gouda pasta.

Chicken Paata with Basil

This recipe is lovely with fresh basil but you can use dried basil too. Weeknight pasta is always a welcome recipe, and this one is creamy and delicious for a comforting meal. 

Chicken Pasta with Basil
Chicken for dinner is one of our favorites and I have been making this one for years. If you do not have fettuccini on hand, just about any kind of pasta noodle will work.

I recommend serving this with a quick salad and bread or rolls. It is so delicious and works great for dinner parties too!

    Yeah, so I like any recipe that uses heavy cream AND butter. Plus has protein and yumminess! We still have basil from our garden and it's begging to be used.

    Oh, it looks so delicious! Are there people who don't like macaroni and cheese? I'm going to start cooking this amazingly mouth-watering dish as soon as I finish writing this comment. I love that creamy texture of sauce and adding Parmesan (be the way, I don't have Parmesan now, so I will try to cook adding Provolone cheese). Thank you for the creative ideas and non-primitive recipes!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
