Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven. This will give the chicken and pasta plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to develop flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or Dutch oven. If you do, the chicken and pasta won't cook evenly.

  • Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions.
  • Stir in the sauce and vegetables.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
