Chicken pasta skillet recipe

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe… I guess I haven’t been experimenting much lately! But I occasionally get recipes in my email from Kraft and Pillsbury, and last week I received this one that I thought looked good enough (and healthy enough) to try. I actually had leftover chicken in the fridge and was craving pasta, so it was a match made in heaven.

The Mr. and I try and eat low calorie, low fat meals, which leaves out a lot of yummy pasta dishes (especially ones with chicken, which usually include a creamy, fattening sauce). This dish was made with a red pasta sauce and lots of added veggies.

So I tried it out last week and everybody (even my 2-year-old) loved it! It was super easy, perfect for leftover shredded chicken (and faster because the chicken was pre-cooked), and made for good leftovers too. See more leftover chicken recipes

Chicken pasta skillet from Kraft

Yield: 4 servings (it seemed to make a lot more than 4 to me)
Print Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces (I used leftover shredded chicken)
  • 1 green pepper, cut into strips
  • 1small onion, sliced
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 2 cups rotini pasta, uncooked
  • 1 jar (24 oz.) spaghetti sauce (I used homemade sauce made from diced tomatoes & tomato sauce)
  • 1 cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

 

Directions:

COOK and stir chicken in large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 5 min (if using leftover chicken, skip this step and add the chicken in when you add the sauce). Add vegetables; cook and stir 5 min. Stir in water. Bring to boil.

ADD pasta; stir until completely covered with water. Cover with lid; simmer on medium-low heat 15 min. or until pasta is tender. Stir in sauce.

SPRINKLE with cheese. Cook, covered, on low heat 5 min. or until cheese is melted and pasta mixture is heated through, stirring occasionally.

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

Another to-do checked off my list for spring break Another to-do checked off my list for spring break room makeover!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
