Cheesy Chicken and Vegetable Dinner




I am going to do this a little differently. I have fresh broccoli and cauliflower and some 2% Velveeta cheese and penne. I am going to make a cheese sauce with the Velveeta and some Parmesan maybe sprinkled on top for presentation.

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked rotini pasta (3 oz)
2 bags (12 oz) Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers™ frozen broccoli, carrots, cauliflower & cheese sauce
1 cup chopped deli rotisserie chicken (from 2- to 2 1/2-lb chicken)
1 cup shredded American-Cheddar cheese blend (4 oz)

1. In 3-quart saucepan, cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Return to saucepan.

2. Meanwhile, in 2-quart microwavable casserole, place frozen vegetables and cheese sauce. Loosely cover with microwavable plastic wrap. Microwave on High 8 to 10 minutes, stirring twice, until cheese sauce melts and vegetables are just crisp-tender.

3. Stir vegetables, chicken and cheese into pasta. Cover; cook over low heat 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Stir gently.

Turned out delicious! This is my own pic. Even the kids liked it.
