Recipe :: creamy chicken and pasta

Looking for a quick meal that's full of flavor? Then look so further! This is fast, easy, and ready to eat in hardly no time! And you only need a few ingredients.

Ingredients

2 tbsp of oil

2 lbs of chicken, cut into cubes

1 can (26 oz) cream of chicken

1 cup water

2 bags (16 oz each) frozen vegetable and pasta blend

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it's well browned, stirring often.

2. Stir the soup, water and vegetable pasta blend into the skillet. Heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken and pasta are done.

My Thoughts

I only used 1 lb of chicken, and since I couldn't find the vegetable/pasta blend, I used half a box of the cork-screw pasta and half a bag of 16 oz, frozen vegetable mix. Other than that, we loved it! Even my 3 year old, who is the pickiest eater EVER, ate this and loved it! I actually made up more just to keep (froze some) for him when he wants it.

Before, with all the ingredients just put together.

After, all set up and ready to eat!
