Notes

To store leftovers, place in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Best enjoyed within 3-4 days. Can freeze well without cheese until ready to eat again. Cook pasta just until al dente, as it will continue to cook in the skillet. For added flavor, consider adding garlic or chopped onions when cooking the chicken.
