I Have No Idea (Chicken With Rotini Pasta) image

I threw this together one night when I had no idea what to make for dinner. When my husband asked what we were having, I said, "I have no idea" - and we've called it that ever since. I've added shrimp at the very end and cooked it just until pink - it was even more delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken from roasting a whole chicken, and this is a great way to use it up. It's also a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I had to reduce the amount of salt I added.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The chicken and pasta cook together in one pot, so there's less cleanup. I also love that I can use whatever vegetables I have on hand.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rotini pasta was cooked perfectly. The sauce was flavorful and creamy, and the broccoli added a nice touch of color and crunch. I will definitely be making this again!
