Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, gather and measure all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use a large pot: You'll need a large pot to cook the pasta, chicken, and vegetables. A Dutch oven or large saucepan works well.
- Don't crowd the pot: When you add the chicken and vegetables to the pot, make sure they're in a single layer. If you overcrowd the pot, the food will cook unevenly.
- Cook the chicken all the way through: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Overcooked pasta will be mushy.
- Add the cream and cheese last: Once the pasta is cooked, add the cream and cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Season to taste: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
