Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Pasta
This is an easy weeknight made with ground chicken, broccoli and protein pasta because tonight I needed dinner to be easy! I used Radiatori pasta since it’s perfect for a creamy sauce and it tastes delicious! Truly the best tasting protein pasta I’ve tried, tastes just like traditional pasta. My kids loved this too so using this pasta great way for kids to get protein in a delicious way!
