Chicken and Pasta in Tomato Cream Sauce (One Pan!)

I love it when an awesome meal comes together in 30 minutes or less!  Because honestly, now that warmer weather has arrived, I’d rather be outside working in my yard or playing with my dog, Baby in the evenings.  Not only is this creamy pasta dish super fast and easy… it tastes absolutely amazing!

Besides, what’s not to love about chicken surrounded by pasta swimming in a tomato cream sauce?!  Nothing.  Serve it with a salad and crusty french bread and you’ve got a complete meal in no time flat.

The pasta cooks right in the sauce and chicken broth so there’s just one pan which means EASY CLEANUP… I’ll take it!  🙂
