Chicken Pasta And Vegetable Marinara Skillet Recipes

30 MINUTE CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE SKILLET PASTA

Steps:

• Cook penne according to the package directions. Once cooked, measure out 1/2 cup of the pasta water and set aside for later. Drain the pasta and set aside.

You want to cook the chicken until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken and mix well.
