        I usually use about 1.5 pounds, but honestly either works fine. If you like more chicken go with more. I hope you enjoy!

      This is my kind of an easy & delicious meal on a busy day, especially now when the kiddos go back to school. A nice tossed salad is all that was needed to make this a complete meal for us. I used whole grain pasta, 'cause that's what I usually buy. I love this easy recipe, and it's definitely going into my "Busy Days" recipe file. Thank you 🙂
