This is a quick and easy meal that can be put on the table in 15 minutes without much work, all in one pan. Can’t get much better than that.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Butter or margarine
• ¾ pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into one inch chunks
• ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 ¾ cup (14 ounce can) Chicken broth
• ½ package (8 ounces) Penne Rigate noodles, uncooked
• 1 package (16 ounces) Favorite frozen vegetable mix
• 2 cups (8 ounces) Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

• In a 5 quart saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Sprinkle chicken with garlic powder. Cook chicken in butter until no longer pink, about 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Add broth; heat to boiling. Add uncooked pasta and frozen vegetables, stirring to coat pasta with liquid. Heat to boiling, reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10-12 minutes or until pasta is tender and most of liquid is absorbed, stirring every two minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in cheese until melted.
