Here is how I put together this amazing Creamy Chicken Pasta Skillet!

Ingredients: Creamy Chicken Pasta Skillet

• 2 lbs chicken breasts cubed
• 1 1/2 tbsp butter
• 2 1/2 tbsp garlic minced
• 1/2 tbsp pepper
• 8 oz mushrooms sliced
• 3 cups spinach fresh
• 6 pieces bacon cooked and crumbled
• 14 oz chicken broth can use low or no sodium
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 16 oz pasta penne – uncooked
• 3 oz cream cheese cubed
• 1/2 cup Parmesan shredded
• 1/2 cup mozzarella shredded

Instructions:Creamy Chicken Pasta Skillet

• In a skillet on medium heat add butter and let it melt
• Add Cubed up chicken breasts and garlic and pepper
• Add chopped up bacon to the skillet and cook with chicken. I didn't have bacon on hand, so I used real bacon bits and they worked just fine. You could also cook up a few slices on a microwave bacon tray and crumble and add to chicken if you prefer.

• Once chicken is half way cooked just about 4 mins add sliced mushrooms and sauté
• Add chicken broth- I use low sodium or no sodium any time I am using broth but you can choose regular too.
• Let that come to a simmer on your stove top and then add in heavy whipping cream.
• And then add penne pasta (Uncooked) or pasta of choice.
• Mix in pasta until all the pasta is covered by liquid and cover on medium heat.
• Pasta should be cooked in about 7-8 minutes.

• Lift lid and stir then add cream cheese cubed up.
• Then add parmesan cheese and mix until combined.
• Once combined add fresh spinach.

This last step is optional, but if you love cheese you will love this. Top the shredded mozzarella cheese and cover for a few minutes on low heat so cheese melts. We love using this cheese grader for fresh graded cheese

And now it is time to enjoy!

Serve in bowl as a complete meal or add sides with it.

Side Ideas: Side salad and French Bread

Crazy Busy Mama Tip:

Looking to save even more time? Grab a Rotisserie chicken next time you are at the grocery store and use pre cooked chicken. This will cut out a cooking step, making it even faster to put together a delicious home made meal for your family!

Recipes like this are designed for you to adapt if necessary. As you see in video, I unexpectedly ran out of bacon so I used real bacon bits as a substitute. No fretting mamas, if there is something missing from your pantry or fridge there is probably a substitute waiting for you. Just get creative and use what you have instead of heading tot the grocery store again and it will save you so much time and money!
