Instructions
- In medium saucepan, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and add to large serving bowl.
- In large skillet, saute diced chicken in olive oil and salt and pepper for 6-8 minutes, stirring often. Once chicken has cooked through, transfer to plate.
- Chop all veggies. Add chopped veggies to same skillet that cooked the chicken in.

- Make white sauce in the same skillet. See video for details! (Note: My videographer husband was still at work while I made this dinner, so sorry about the few spots that are jumpy!)
- In large serving bowl, toss pasta, cooked chicken, sauteed veggies with Parmesan sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste…and extra Parmesan cheese if you like.
- Serve Chicken Pasta Primavera.
Note: This made a LOT of pasta…will easily feed us all for lunch tomorrow…and possibly beyond!
