I used this as a base and the result was very tasty!! Unused local organic chicken breast which I cut into cubes, glutinous rice flour as that is what I had on hand and to be gluten free, organic extra virgin olive oil but also some organic cultured butter for more of a flavour we enjoy, homemade veggie stock with a little beef as that is what I had on hand, for the cream cheese I used a Middle Eastern cream cheese called lebneh which is more like very strained yogurt, organic parsley and organic basil to garnish. To the cream sauce I added sea salt to taste, cooked organic shelled peas, cooked organic sliced carrots and cooked organic yellow beans chopped in half. I served this over top of organic rice spaghetti to be gluten free, with a fresh salad for a delicious meal. I may use this recipe as a base again insha Allah, (God willing).

I live right outside of DC. I enjoy cooking -- mostly simple recipes in my everyday life, but I also enjoy some more complex things when I have the time.
