Pasta Ingredients
  • 8 oz pasta – any shape you love
Filling Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded rotisserie chicken is a quick option!
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn) fresh, frozen, or canned work!
  • 2 cups chicken broth low-sodium is great for controlling salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream adds that luscious texture
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions and drain once al dente. Set aside.
Sautéing the Vegetables
  1. In a large skillet, pour in olive oil and heat over medium. Add the mixed vegetables, cooking for about 5 minutes until they're tender and vibrant.
Combining Ingredients
