Procedure for Making White Sauce Chicken Pasta

Procedure for making Chicken Pasta

• First, cut boneless chicken into small pieces and place them in a pressure cooker with a little water.

• Cook for 2 whistles and then set it aside. Keep the water used for cooking the chicken separately, as it will be needed for the pasta. Set the well-cooked chicken aside.

• In a Kadai (pot), add maida or wheat pasta, along with the necessary amount of salt & water, and bring it to a boil.

• To prevent the pasta from sticking together, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. If you don't have olive oil, you can use cooking oil instead. 

• Let the pasta cook well for about 15-20 minutes. Once it is done, drain it and set it aside.

• First, peel the large onion into thin layers and then cut it into squares. Chop the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into square pieces as well.

• Green bell peppers are usually available, while red and yellow ones can be harder to find, so use them if you can.

• Some people may not like cabbage, but if you like to add it, you can add it or you can skip it completely; it's optional.

• Next, cut the carrot into long strips. Now, keep all the chopped vegetables separately.

• Then, heat a pan on the stove. Add 3 teaspoons of butter or ghee to it. Once it is hot, add chopped garlic & sauté.

• Next, add the chopped onions, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, carrots, sweet corn, and cabbage.

• Sauté all the vegetables lightly without cooking them completely; they should remain slightly crunchy. 

• Then, add the cooked chicken to the mixture and stir well. Now add chilli flakes and oregano, mixing well. 

• Add salt to taste to the mixture. Set aside this sauteed vegetable and chicken mixture.

Few more steps for making White Sauce Chicken Pasta

• Next, heat a wide heavy-bottom pan on the stove. Once it's hot, add 4 tablespoons of butter or ghee. Then, mix in all-purpose flour (maida) or wheat flour. 

• Keep the stove on medium heat. The flour has to absorb the butter completely; stir it continuously till it roasts fully and turns a slight brown in colour. 

• After this, gradually add in the heated milk little by little to the flour and stir it continuously.

• Stir it till the milk and the flour are mixed completely, until it becomes creamy. This is the white sauce.

• Next, add pepper powder and the right amount of salt for flavor. Now the white sauce is ready.

• In the prepared white sauce, add the stock water used to cook the chicken. Then add in the cooked pasta, the crunchy fried vegetables, and the chicken in this white sauce. 

• Finally, sprinkle the Italian seasoning, chilli flakes, and oregano on top of the white sauce, pasta, vegetables, and chicken mixture.

• Stir it well until all mixes together. Yes, now our yummy and creamy white sauce chicken pasta is ready. Serve it hot with toasted garlic bread.

Some Notes on White Sauce Pasta

We can also make this white sauce pasta as a vegetarian dish by avoiding chicken. Instead of chicken, you can even add mushrooms with the above-mentioned vegetables to make it even tastier.

You can use any type of pasta as you like (Maida, whole wheat, or Millets). Adding whole wheat pasta or millet pasta will make this dish extra nutritious.

Usually white sauce will be made with plain flour (maida). If you want to avoid maida, then you can use wheat flour instead.
