Recipe Tips

Storing: Keep the pasta separate if you’re planning on leftovers to prevent the pasta from soaking up all the liquid and becoming mushy.
Cutting the Veggies: You can cut them chunky or thin depending on your preferred texture but smaller pieces, especially carrots, will cook more quickly cut into thin pieces.
Make Your Own Ground Chicken: If you can't find it in the store you can make it yourself very easily. Making it yourself means you can use either white meat, dark meat, or a combination of the two. Cut up the chicken into small pieces and pulse in a food processor until it's chopped into fine pieces similar to ground meat.
