Quick & Dirty Chicken Mushroom Pasta
"This is my hubby's favorite pasta dish and is so quick and easy to make. Leftovers freeze well and they also reheat in the microwave very nicely. We take this to work for lunch a lot. The recipe is a combination of recipes from Prevention and Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks."

This was quick and easy. The taste was good. I ended up adding some cornstarch to the chicken broth mixture, because it was too thin to pour over the chicken. Even with that addition, the sauce was too thin.
