Chicken Pot Pie Pasta (5 Ww Points)
"Easy, breezy recipe that is healthy and delicious (and tastes creamy without the cream)! This totally reminded me of a good-ol' family recipe but lightened up and quick to make. I would serve this at a party or just for my hubby! It's great to clean out your cupboards with things you always have on hand - you can easily swap out your favorite or available veggies or meat. Enjoy!"

I have made this several times for both family and company. Always gets rave reviews. I use chicken stock in place of the wine. It has 7 points in the new PointsPlus program.
