Chicken Pasta Primavera for Weekdays image

A quick non-creamy weeknight primavera using cooked chicken. Found in California Sizzles. Notes: A 14.5 ounce can of peeled Roma tomatoes equals 4-5 fresh tomatoes; drain before adding. The whole canned tomatoes tend to be higher quality than those used for cut up varieties, but Progresso, Muir Glen, and Contadina are highly rated brands. If using frozen broccoli (if you don't live in California!), please thaw prior to adding. A one-pound bunch of fresh broccoli will yield 4 cups of florets. Made 6/16/12: used florets from 1 crown of broccoli, Fire-roasted tomatoes (drained), pulled meat from 1/2 rotisserie chicken. This was mild - family friendly. We will make again using Rotel, or serve with red pepper flakes or Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning. Used tri-colored garden rotini, but would look better on angel hair. My fresh broccoli only needed 7 minutes before adding chicken. Because I used rotisserie chicken and canned tomatoes, I did not add additional salt.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The chicken was a bit tough and the sauce was a bit bland. I wouldn't make it again.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thin and the chicken was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the veggies were cooked perfectly. I would recommend using a different method for cooking the chicken.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it some more flavor.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped spinach or kale for extra nutrition.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken pasta primavera, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts really takes it to the next level.

This recipe is a lifesaver for busy weeknights! The chicken and veggies cook quickly, and the pasta soaks up all the delicious sauce. I added some extra garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick.
