Chicken Broccoli Rotini

This recipe is a winner, if I don't say so myself!  A little parmesan cheese gives it just the right hint of cheese, and the freeze-dried chicken and broccoli are amazing, I think.  It's pretty great that you can have chicken and broccoli that tastes so fresh after coming straight from a can.  I love that.

Plus, this whole dish is ready in less than 30 minutes.  No chopping or dicing or slicing.  Easy peasy!

CHICKEN BROCCOLI ROTINI

PREP TIME:  5-10 minutes
COOK TIME:  17 minutes

INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of water to boil, then add the rotini, broccoli, and chicken.  Boil for 12 minutes.  Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes.  Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.  Drain the rotini with broccoli and chicken.  Place in a serving bowl.  Stir in the creamy mixture until all the pasta is well-coated.

  2. I do like meals that come out of the pantry but I must admit, you are aware of products I've never tried.

    1. Yes, the freeze-dried products are ones I was introduced to by a friend several years ago. Then, during the pandemic I decided to start seeing how I could use them in recipes--and that's how this blog was born. (Remember the eerie feeling of seeing shelves absolutely empty at the beginning of the pandemic?? No chicken anywhere. No pasta.) You can certainly use fresh or frozen instead of freeze-dried (making it not pantry-friendly any more), and it tastes just as yummy. Thanks for visiting and for the comment, Donna.

  3. I love quick and easy meals where I already have most, it not all, of the ingredients in my pantry/kitchen already.
