I made the Chicken Margherita Pasta for my family one night after a busy day and they LOVED it! Both my daughter and my son loved it, and so did my husband!
When I first saw the recipe I thought it was very simple and that it wouldn’t have much flavor but I was wrong! It was so yummy! I even cooked the noodles and chicken up before I took my daughter to dance so then once we were home I just added the dressing and stirred to coat everything. It was the perfect meal for the end of a busy day!
I really like the chicken breast strips because they cook up nice and are already cut up in nice proportions. I did cut them in half for my kids while they were cooking in the pan. I also made this for lunch one day because I wanted something nice and light. We had some left over pasta from the night before so I just cooked up some chicken, made the dressing and it was ready to go! I even think you could make this the night before and take it for work the next day. It would be a healthier and cheaper alternative to going out for lunch. Here is the recipe so you all can try it out!
