Chicken Rigatoni

We will be making happy memories with our grandchildren this weekend. So I thought it was the perfect time to share this quick Chicken Rigatoni recipe for leftover chicken. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

This is a make it quick recipe, for making a meal with leftover chicken. You can always substitute fresh veggies for the frozen, ones and cook the chicken fresh.

What You Need

12 oz Rigatoni pasta

2 Tbsp olive oil

9 oz Bag of stir-fry vegetables (from your groceries freezer)

1 ¼ Cups cooked chicken (strips, or pieces)

1 Tbsp chopped garlic

1 Cup chicken broth

1/2 Cup grated Parmesan

1/4 Cup thin strips fresh basil

Large non stick skillet with lid

Colander

Let’s Make It! Prepare rigatoni according to package directions. Note*before you drain the pasta in the colander reserve 1 cup cooking water. While the rigatoni is cooking, heat olive oil in skillet over medium high heat and add stir-fry vegetables and chicken strips. Sauté  together for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minute. Stir in broth. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 3 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add drained pasta, Parmesan and basil and mix together. If it looks a little dry add some of the reserved pasta water as needed.
