Creamy Chicken Pasta with Leeks and Shallots

Sharing is caring!

Creamy Chicken Pasta with Leeks and Shallots is a winner with our family and will be with yours. It’s easy to whip up even on the busiest of nights!

I don’t know about you, but we’re always looking for quick and healthy recipes to make after work. Who isn’t, right? But you see, lately work has been really taxing. I get home almost thoroughly spent. No puns intended from this budget analyst. I honestly have little to no energy to create a tasty meal that doesn’t require some form of convenience food. It’s just too easy to grab a can of this or a box of that to make a quick dinner for us when we get home from work.

Of course, it doesn’t help that we work in a city on the top ten worst traffic list. Take Friday, for example. I get these wonderful alerts on my smart phone that tells me how long it will take to get home. As I packed up to leave…yup. 1 hour and 12 minutes. To drive 27 miles. An hour. And twelve minutes. *sigh*

So, you see, quick and easy is almost a requirement for our weekday supper.

That’s where Perdue comes in. They have always been a name brand that I can rely on and trust to have quality ingredients, be healthy, and taste amazing! So, you can imagine my delight when I found out about their PERDUE® Signature Chicken Stock. Yes! Perdue makes chicken stock!! And it tastes A-mazing. Lip smacking, lick the pan, spoon and everything else amazing. No, I’m not exaggerating.

This stock IS so delicious because it has no preservatives, no artificial flavors and it’s made with antibiotic-free chicken. You won’t find this in the canned soup aisle; no preservatives, remember? You will find this in the refrigerator section near the fresh-tasting PERDUE® Chicken. Convenient, right? Grab your chicken and your stock right next to each other.

Not only is this stock super flavorful but it also comes in a unique package. Yes, it does have a pour spout and screw top lid, but the unique part is the window on the side that tells just how much you have and when you’ll need to purchase another carton. And you will. You will purchase many cartons to make quick and easy recipes just like this one.

While this sounds fancy, it really is simple and can be thrown together – yes thrown together – in thirty minutes or less with just ten ingredients. Ten. And you probably have most of them already. If you’re like me, you usually have leeks and shallots in the fridge for potato leek soup, but maybe you’re not like me and you may have to purchase these two items with your new PERDUE® Signature Chicken Stock. So, head on over to the grocery store. I’ll wait.

What took you so long? I was starting to get hungry!!

As you can see, this Creamy Chicken Pasta with Leeks and Shallots is simple and simply delicious. The PERDUE® Signature Chicken Stock is the star of this dish and makes for the most amazing sauce for the chicken. Not only is it just 10 ingredients, but it’s only six simple steps, well, seven if you count eating it.

1. Prep – It really makes for quick and easy meal if you prepare all of your ingredients before you start to cook. And considering how quick this really does come together, I highly recommend it.
2. Sauté – the garlic, shallots, and leeks until tender.
3. Brown – the chicken.
4. Whisk – the stock with the cornstarch and add it to the pan.
5. Simmer – the stock mixture with the chicken mixture until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thickened.
6. Stir – in the cooked pasta
7. Serve – that one’s not shown, but it’s kind of obvious.

See? Doesn’t that sound super quick and easy? Not to mention fabulously delicious! And just LOOK at it?? Take a bite! I know you want to.

When the chicken was cooked and the sauce had thickened I ask S, the hubs, to taste it tell me what it needed. He said, and I quote, “A plate under it.” I kid you not. This tastes restaurant quality delicious and truly allows the flavor of this delectable PERDUE® Signature Chicken Stock to really shine.

Heh. Like my fancy floating fork? I’m experimenting in anticipation of having a space where I can set up a studio, hopefully soon.

It will probably increase our commute time, but we really can’t stand our little apartment and it leaves my photography a bit lacking and doesn’t truly reflect my skills. I love that fork, by the way. So, 20s and deco. Flea market find props rock!

This was definitely one of those dinners I really REALLY wanted for lunch the next day. It took all the composure I had to not shut my door and lick the bowl clean. Honestly. If you had that for lunch wouldn’t you want to lick the bowl?
