DELICIOUS is right - made for a wonderful Pasta supper! Love chicken and pasta. Dredging the one inch pieces of chicken with flour and browning really adds flavor to this dish as do the vegetables. We all love Chicken Spaghetti - chicken chunks and the veggies make for another recipe that will be added to my cookbook. So looking forward to serving this to family and friends. The teenager who is not all that fond of tomato based sauces was convinced to give it a try - not only did you get his vote, he said it needs more than five stars! Thank you Seasoned Cook. -
Very tasty combination of chicken and vegs plus pasta. I did use more garlic and added black pepper as well, but otherwise made by recipe. DH liked it and wants to have again. UPDATE: Froze the leftovers and just ate them for supper about 5 weeks later. I just thawed and then warmed in a pot on the stovetop. Even better than the first time. Thanks for posting.

<p>Thanks for taking the time to stop by My Page! I am married to a quiet, but fun loving guy who cleans up the kitchen!! I have grandchildren who I adore. I am retired from being a paralegal and a real estate agent. I have also been a substitute teacher for the elementary grades in the public school system. All of my recipes are the tried and true type. Many of them have come from my 48 years of cooking, my mother's recipe box or other relatives. I like Taste of Home magazine and I am a big fan of foodnetworkTV. I am a southern girl and enjoy comfort foods!!! I am a big cookbook collector and have been for years. I enjoy baking desserts most of all. I also enjoy games on my laptop, growing flowers, lunches with friends, babysitting grandchildren, photography and traveling. Since life is so short I try to count my blessings each day and give to the less fortunate. I had gotten into a rut on what to cook. Therefore, I am so happy I found the Recipezaar site. Pet Peeve: People with a negative attitude. MY RATING SYSTEM: 5 stars - Excellent in taste. May have minor change. 4 stars - Adjustment in ingredients for flavor. 3 stars - Fair, but not sure whether I would repeat. 2 and 1 stars - I do NOT give.
