Hello!
You know when you create a meal and the family just keeps talking about it? Well, my one pan chicken pasta on the BBQ really hit the spot with my family because they just keep bringing it up. Can I complain? No! Nothing makes me happier than seeing them eat 🙂 That being said, we have some reaaaaalllly hot temperatures upon us and even I do not want to be outside in it BBQing. So, I decided to recreate this one pan chicken pasta recipe so it can be made any time of the year on the stove top!
Not only that, but I made my first YouTube video documenting the steps on how to make this dish! First video, so be nice, but I definitely felt a rush making it. Of course, I accidentally deleted the part where I add the Pronto Pasta, but rest assure, I am using the penne varietal this time around and it worked just as well as the rotini did on the BBQ.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy as my daughter would say right now 🙂

This one pan chicken pasta was just as simple as making it on the BBQ! Now we have an all-year round recipe 🙂 I am loving these Pronto Pasta’s from Barilla. Seriously, dinner is a breeze and I am one of those people that hates taking the time to boil pasta (and even hate cleaning the pan more so!)
