How to Make The Best Chicken Pasta Dish
I picked up these fun thin egg noodles for my pasta, but any of your favorite shape or size will do the trick. These egg noodles only boil for 4 minutes, so I kind of love them! The cheese sauce is thick so be sure you don’t overcook your pasta, lots of stirring could smash a pasta that is overcooked 🙂
Drain your pasta and run it under cold water to stop the cooking.
Add your pasta to a big pot then add your broccoli…..
….add your chicken.
Now the fabulous cheese sauce. Mmmm. Give it a good stir, loosen the sauce with a little milk and serve.
