I was surprised how quickly and easily this recipe came together. It's tasty and looks good. I used creme fraiche for this but I expect sour cream would work as well.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cooked them in a skillet until browned. Then I added the sauce and pasta and cooked until the pasta was al dente.
