Pasta with Butternut Sauce, Steamed Broccoli, and Breaded Chicken

I found this recipe for Pasta with Butternut Sauce, Spicy Sausage, & Baby Spinach on SkinnyTaste's Pinterest. It looked great, however I'm a picky eater. I decided to modify the recipe to go with what I liked and also what I had in the fridge. I decided instead of sausage, which I didn't have, to sub a GF breaded chicken. I also subbed broccoli for spinach.

Ingredients:

For the Pasta & Sauce:

• 1 lb butternut squash, peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp light butter
• 10 oz gluten free pasta of your choice. (I used Andean Dream Quinoa Pasta Fusilli)
• 1/4 cup shallots, minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups broccoli, steamed
• 2 tbsp fresh shaved parmesan cheese
• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Chicken

• 4 Chicken tenderloins
• Corn Chex
• Onion Powder
• Garlic Powder
• 1 Egg

Sizzle...pop...yum!

I've been looking for a good GF breadcrumb. All the ones I've looked at are a little too expensive for something I feel like I could make at home. Rice and Corn Chex are both GF, so I used the food processor to chop up some Corn Chex tossed in some garlic & onion powder & voila! Homemade GF breadcrumbs!

Tada! Final Product!

I followed SkinnyTaste's cooking instructions for the rest. The breaded chicken may have been a little off with the pasta dish, but overall, it still tasted good.
