A quick and easy weeknight meal that your kids will actually eat!
This 15-Minute Chicken and Pasta With Sauce is a staple in Camila’s house and we have a feeling it just might become one of your go-to meals too. For the nights that you are busy and need something healthy and delicious that your kids will actually eat, try turning to this recipe.
For Camila, the whole family loves chicken so using it in this recipe is a no-brainer. This recipe calls for dark meat which can get a bad reputation among proteins because it is fattier than white meat, but it makes for a richer, tastier sauce!
Technique tip: Kids like eating rotini because it gets nice and saucy. Plus, it’s a fun shape they enjoy.
