Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken
- 3 cups Progresso™ chicken broth from 32-oz carton
- 8 oz uncooked ziti pasta 2 1/2 cups
- 3/4 cup frozen sweet peas
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tsp finely chopped garlic
- 1/4 Tsp salt
- 1/4 Tsp pepper
- Chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley, if desired
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, then add the garlic. Stir constantly for about a minute, just until it becomes fragrant.
- Pour in the broth, add the pasta, and season with salt and pepper. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat to medium.
- Cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Pour in the whipping cream and sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, stirring over medium-high heat for 3 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and smooth.
- Add the chicken and frozen sweet peas, and cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is warmed through and well combined.
- Let stand for 5 minutes to set before serving. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
