Scrumptious Creamy Chicken and Pasta

December 30, 2018 by Karen Giebel Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Last evening I had one frozen boneless Chicken Breast in the freezer and a few bits of this and that in the refrigerator. So, I decided to see if I could actually make something not only edible, but delicious out of what was here. Sparky gave it a resounding “YES!”  This one will be going in our favorite meal rotation. If you have leftover Chicken or even Turkey, this will go together in a snap. A Rotisserie would make it easy too. Not that it was difficult to thinly slice that boneless Chicken Breast, then cut it into bite size pieces that I simply stir fried for 3-4 minutes! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as it is family friendly and easily feeds four people.

Here’s what we’ll need.

Scrumptious Creamy Chicken and Pasta

Rich, thick and creamy, delicately flavored with White Wine with a little kick from the Roasted Red Pepper and the Sun Dried Tomatoes, this will surely and deliciously, fill you up on a cold winter day!
