Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Warm and savory chicken pot pie pasta. I like to make this meal at the end of the week with my “scraps”. I typically have left over chicken and veggie scraps from other meals throughout the week. I chop them small and when it’s time to cook this one, I throw it all in a pan for a quick dinner. You may sub the heavy cream and flour for a can of “cream of chicken” in a pinch.
