Creamy Chicken Cavatelli

Creamy Chicken Cavatelli

 

Here is a great recipe for an easy weeknight dinner – Creamy Chicken Cavatelli.  This is what I like to call a One Pot Wonder.  This recipe is great to use up leftover cooked chicken.  I used a leftover rotisserie chicken and items found in my pantry.  This goes together quick so you can have dinner ready in 20 minutes.
