1-Pot Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Pasta
1-pot creamy chicken and mushroom pasta is a great busy weeknight meal! I feel like I’m having a hard time making and posting super Christmas-y recipes. But then I thought, maybe you could use a quick 30 minute meal to help you on a busy day! My almost 2-year-old ate THREE whole bowls of this. And my 4-year-old told me she wanted to eat this every day because it’s so good. So, this recipe is kid approved. At least by my kids.
If you’re looking for another 1-pot meal, my favorite one is this 1-pot Alfredo.
