Tip

If you'd like to use a different type of pasta, or if your pasta requires more than 10 minutes to cook, prepare it separately. You can add the pasta in the last step, just before serving.

Step 1

Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt and pepper. Cut into 1-inch cubes.

Step 6

Tip

You can mix in a dollop or two of sour cream to make the dish extra creamy.

Tip

If you cooked the pasta separately, add it to the skillet now. Stir well to coat the pasta in sauce.

The sauce will thicken as the pasta cools. To serve, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs or fresh herbs of your choice.
