Last night I made three baked chicken breasts. I dredged them in honey mustard and then rolled them in crushed french fried onions. DH & I only ate two, and I have one leftover I want to use up tonight. I thought I could stretch it by slicing it over pasta, but I can't think of a pasta sauce that will go with a mustardy, oniony chicken. Maybe alfredo, but I'm worried that's too rich? Thoughts?

I might do something like bowties with broccoli and onions and sundried tomatoes in just a light garlic olive oil.
-
I'd do the pasta on the side and add veggies or a light sauce like @JerricaBenton suggested!
-
I agree...an olive oil and garlic based sauce with veggies!
-
Hmm... DH is picky about veggies, but maybe a garlic/olive oil sauce with sauteed spinach and onions?
-
@JerricaBenton's idea sounds delish! Or a light lemon-y pasta?
-
i'd say either garlic/oil or maybe a cold pasta salad with balsamic vinegar - i think balsamic and honey mustard go nicely together!
-
@Pirouette: Ooh balsamic sounds good! Maybe I'll do a balsamic butter sauce with some parmesan on top!
-
Lol that would never be enough chicken for my DH who is currently on a 'protein' kick, but if I were making it into pasta I would probably do Orzo and mix in sauteed zucchini, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms in a garlic and olive oil sauce.

@daniellemybelle: that sounds delicious! can i come over?

@Modern Daisy: DH usually wants a full chicken breast to himself, but I am trying to trick him by slicing it thinly & fanning it out on top of pasta. Looks like more.

@Pirouette: Come on over!
