Creamy Chicken Pasta

Creamy chicken pasta is easy to make a weeknight one-pot pasta dish! With only 30 minutes of total work, this chicken dinner recipe is simple, fast, and delicious!

Spring activities are in full swing! Every night we have softball practice, games and then you throw in a little cheer into the mix and life gets a little crazy! Half the time, all I want to do is run to the local fast food place and pick up dinner because I’m done for the day but then my mom guilt kicks in and I want and know that I need to feed my family something tasty and good for them.

It’s really hard at our house because I have such picky eaters that sometimes they don’t even want to try it before they even see what I have made!

I really try to come up with recipes that are full of flavor and are super easy! I can honestly say that this one is a keeper! My 17 year old even came home for lunch to eat leftovers. Can I get a hallelujah??? Your mom’s out there know what I’m talking about!
