This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables to create a delicious, easy meal. If you don't have peas and carrots in the freezer, any odds and ends of frozen vegetables will do the job.
Ingredients
- ½ lb. whole-wheat pasta, dry
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 2 cups peas and carrots
1 (
- 6 oz.) jar low-sodium pasta sauce
- 1 tsp. oregano
- 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
- While pasta is cooking, place remaining ingredients in a large sauce pan. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir in pasta and serve hot, topped with Parmesan.
Chef's Practical Notes
Ensure you brown the meat thoroughly; that "crispy crust" is where all the flavor for the gravy comes from.
