GF Chicken Pasta Thang

That GF Chicken Pasta Thang!

My kids have a pasta favorite that I often make for them. I'm not really sure what it is called because I made it up years ago after reading a similar recipe on a Campbell's soup label; but children have always referred to it as "That Chicken Pasta Thang"! They beg for it and it is fairly easy to make. I hope you enjoy! I do not have a picture of this one yet, but I will get one for you soon!

Ingredients

4 Tbs. butter or margerine

2-3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

2 boxes Pacifico Natural Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 Cup grated parmesan cheese

½ Cup Milk

3 Tbsp. parsley

¼ tsp. pepper

½ tsp. salt

Broccoli florets (optional)

GF Pasta of your choice (I prefer the Tinkyada brand that is sold at Target and most King Soopers stores. They have many different shapes and types of pasta)

Directions

Melt the butter in a large skillet. Brown chicken until it is thoroughly cooked. Set aside.

In a separate bowl mix together the soup, cheese, milk, parsley, salt, and pepper; pour over cooked chicken. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Let simmer for 10 minutes and remove from heat to allow the mixture to thicken for 5 minutes.

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. If you desire you can skip the pasta and pour the mixture over steamed broccoli. This is my favorite way to eat it! Or you can add broccoli florets to the boiling pasta water for the last five minutes to add it to the meal.

Drain pasta, dress it with the soup and chicken mixture and top with parmesan cheese!
