Any ideas here? I have taken some cooked cut up chicken from my freezer (left over from another meal and I froze it) and I was thinking about adding that to some kind of marinara or pesto sauce and having it over linguine or even penn? I'm trying to use what I have here on hand to avoid driving to the store--it's a good drive and I just don't feel like going anywhere because it's so hot! I'm all ears..........
If you have tomatoes, cheese, onion, bell pepper, and a can of cream of mushroom soup you can make chicken spaghetti.
Cyn, this is a long time family favorite that we got from one of my favorite cookbooks - 365 Ways to Cook Pasta.
I always make my own pesto and then all you have to do is cook the pasta, add the diced or shredded chicken, halve some tear drop or cherry tomatoes, and toast some walnuts and crumble them over. I'm sure it would be good w/ prepared pesto, but not as good. I would just google pesto recipes if you want to make some. The one I use has walnuts, extra virgin olive oil, parmesan cheese, basil, and italian parsley. I do 3 parts basil to 1 part italian parsley because I really love basil.
Thank you everyone. I think you saved me! Which kind of pasta would you use?
Cyn, I always use bowties with pesto, the pesto really clings to all the nooks and crannies!
That reminds me, I gotta harvest basil over the weekend and freeze another batch of pesto.....I'm like a squirrel storing nuts for the winter, lol!

Simple and easy would be if you have a box of rice-a-roni, or wild rice, or yellow rice, etc..... Prepare and just add chicken. Could add a can of sweet peas depending on what flavor rice you had. (That chicken spaghetti sounds pretty good to me!)
