Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Instructions

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep.
  • Swap penne with ziti, rotini, or rigatoni if needed.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
  • Mix in cooked spinach or broccoli for extra veggies.
  • Try different cheese blends like Parmesan or Italian mix for variety.
