How to Make Chicken with sugar snap peas & caramelized onion
- 1Heat the olive oil in a frying pan, thinly slice the onion and add to the heated olive oil along with the sugar, heat on medium to low heat until the onions are soft and brown, stirring to make sure the onions don't burn, keep flames a little lower to make sure they don't burn. Once they are soft and brown, remove from pan and place in a a bowl cover with foil to keep warm.
- 2Sprinkle both side of the chicken breast with Emeril's Essence, place the chicken in the same pan, if you need more oil add some. Saute until brown and cooked through.
- 3make the pasta at this point
- 4Add the garlic, chives and sugar snap peas, cook for 1-2 mins.
- 5Stir in the evaporated milk, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Add the caramelized onions. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sauce is thick, if the sauce seems to thick add some of the pasta water, salt if needed.
- 6Place the Pasta on a large platter place the chicken on top and spoon over the sauce, add some freshly ground pepper
