Chicken Tips!

You can use many different types of chicken for this easy recipes, here are some ideas:

• raw chicken breasts that you’ll need to cook
• canned chicken breasts – use 3 drained cans for this recipe
• rotisserie chicken – use 1 whole rotisserie chicken for this recipe
• fully cooked frozen chicken breasts located in your freezer section at your local grocery store. Use 1-2 lbs for this recipe

Pasta Tips!

To keep your pasta from becoming “mushy” use a thicker type of pasta like a rotini or penne, do not use elbow or shell noodles, unless you are cooking these ahead of time and adding them to your almost finished meal. You can add the cooked pasta about 30 minutes before the meal is finished cooking.
