Ingredients
-
1 tbsp (15 mL) butter, divided
1 lb (500 g) boneless, skinless chicken, cut into strips
4 green onions, sliced
2 tart cooking apples, thinly sliced
Pinch ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp (30 mL) cider vinegar
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) 35% whipping cream
1/2 cup (125 mL) dried cranberries
12 oz (375 g) penne or other short pasta
1 cup (250 mL) shredded Canadian old Cheddar cheese
Preparation
Prep time: 15 min • Cook time: 20 min
In a large skillet, melt half of the butter over medium-high heat; brown chicken strips, in batches; transfer to a bowl.
Add remaining butter to skillet. Add green onions, apples, nutmeg, 3/4 tsp (4 mL) salt and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper; cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes or until softened. Add vinegar, scraping any bits stuck to pan. Stir in cream and cranberries; bring to boil.
Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring often, for about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook pasta for about 10 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain and return to pot.
Add chicken and any accumulated juices to sauce; simmer for about 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Pour over cooked pasta and sprinkle with cheese; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve sprinkled with chives.
