My family eats a lot of chicken. It really is one of the healthiest choices when it comes to selecting a protein for dinner. So, since we eat a lot of chicken, I am always on the lookout for a great new chicken recipe.

I came across this delicious chicken and pasta recipe and knew that my family would love it. They do love chicken, after all and pasta is always a treat.

So, I made this one the other night for dinner and they really did love it. It’s such a simple recipe, too. It’s one of those wholesome dinners that you can cook up in very little time, so it’s perfect for your busy weeknights.

It’s also really easy to adjust the recipe to make less or more as needed. And, if you aren’t a fan of chicken thighs like the recipe calls for, you could always substitute drumsticks or breasts. And you can use whatever pasta your family loves – talk about a flexible recipe!

You even have time to make these luscious chocolate chip brownies for dessert.

If you need a simple recipe that will definitely fill your family up, this is it. It’s really quick and easy to make and there are so many side dishes that would be great with this – or you could just serve the chicken and pasta and add in a small side salad.
