Andouille and Chicken Creole Pasta

From allrecipes.com



Ingredients:
1/2 pound andouille sausage, diced
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
3 tablespoons Creole seasoning
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
4 green onions, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can fat-free chicken broth
1 cup 2% milk
2 teaspoons lemon pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup cold water
1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta

Directions:
1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage and chicken with the Creole seasoning until the meat is about halfway done. Add the mushrooms, green onion, green pepper and red pepper. Sautee over medium heat until the mushrooms begin to shrink, about 10 minutes.

2. Place pasta in a large pot of lightly salted water. Boil for 8 to 10 minutes, or until pasta is al dente. Drain.

3. Stir in the chicken broth and milk, season with lemon pepper and garlic powder, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Mix together the cornstarch and cold water until dissolved. Stir into the skillet. Cook, stirring gently, until the sauce returns to a boil. Boil for one minute, then remove from heat and set aside. Serve hot over cooked pasta.

Comments:
I used some Kick'n Chicken seasoning instead of a Creole seasoning since that's what I had here. I also didn't use linguine. We had some Dreamfields spaghetti in the cupboard so I used that.

All in all, a good dish with nice flavors. It makes waaaaaaay too much sauce though. I'd say you could cut both the chicken stock and the milk in half and still be ok. Unless you like your pasta swimming in sauce. I guess that's more of a personal preference thing.
