Notes
- There are 9 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
- If you begin with raw chicken, check for doneness with a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165F / 74C.
- To save time, you can use precooked, leftover chicken, shredded rotisserie chicken, or even canned chicken in this recipe. After adding the chicken to the dish, allow the liquid to heat up a bit before adding the pasta.
- If you don’t have garlic purée, use a microplane to grate 1-2 cloves of garlic.
- Press all of the pasta under the liquid to ensure that all of it cooks.
- To make this dish vegetarian, simply use veggie broth instead of chicken broth and leave the chicken out.
