Chicken and Vegetable Pasta
A great, hearty pasta dish that combines chicken and vegetables in a creamy sauce. If artichokes aren't to your liking, replace with fresh vegetables such as red capsicum.

Great yummy recipe! My family loved it, but I did make a few substitutions. Instead of heavy cream, I used 1% milk. I also sauteed the chicken in a little olive oil instead of breading and frying it. I used frozen brocolli that I thawed in the microwave and celletani as the pasta. I can't wait to make this again. I would recommend this recipe to anyone! - 11 Jan 2003 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This is a nice recipe, but unless you like bland food, be prepared to add a lot of spices. I added much more garlic, salt, and some other complimentary spices. Also before cooking I decided I wanted to make an "oven baked ziti" So after it was prepared, I placed it a baking pan, sprinkled the top with shredded cheese and parmesan and put it in a 350 degree oven for 30 min. I also cooked the chicken in olive oil, instead of frying. I will say that I tasted it before baking it and it was much more flavorful after baking it. - 12 Dec 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
