I have a super yummy dish to share today: Creamy chicken pasta. This has to be one of my new favorite meals. I’ve made it a few times now and have gotten several requests for the recipe. Everyone loved it!
This recipe was inspired by a dish at the Italian restaurant Biaggis. I loved it so much I had to recreate it at home. Their dish also had peas and bacon crumbs (which I thought was yummy) but I decided to omit those. Feel free to mix in your favorite veggies to create a dish YOUR family will love.

Thanks for the awesome recipe. I just made these and they are so easy. My daughter ate like 4 and then asked if there were anymore. Then she wanted to eat mine as well. And asked if she could bring them to school for lunch. I love when I make something new and it’s a big hit. Thanks so much. I will have to try more of your recipes.
Your comment made my day Lisa! I’m so glad you and your daughter liked this recipe! :)
this looks like one of my favorite Macaroni Grill dishes — can’t wait to try it!
This is similar to a cajun dish I tried last week. It looks really good!!
Great recipe. I love the roasted chicken and pasta combination.
