Double-Cheese Chicken and Vegetables





370 Calories per Serving


I loved this one. It was like mac and cheese but better. I added a little extra cheese to make it a little more creamy and it turned out great! The hubs even took it for lunch the next day. Even reheated, it was great.


Prep Time: 30 Min     Total Time: 30 Min     Servings: 4

Ingredients: 
1 1/2 cups uncooked rotini pasta (4 oz)
1 bag (24 oz) frozen broccoli, carrots, cauliflower & cheese sauce
1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup shredded American-Cheddar cheese blend (2 oz)

Instructions: 
1. In 3-quart saucepan, cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Return to saucepan.

2. Meanwhile, in 2-quart microwavable casserole, place frozen vegetables and cheese sauce. Loosely cover with microwavable plastic wrap. Microwave on High 8 to 10 minutes, stirring twice, until cheese sauce melts and vegetables are just crisp-tender.
