What's for dinner? Day 28

Tonight was not a hit initially with the kids :(

"I don't want the vegetables!"
"I am not going to eat the chicken!"

But after they tasted it, they were singing a different tune!

"Oh this is good chicken!"

Joe and I both like it.

This is one of my sister's favorite!

Creamy Chicken and Penne Pasta

1 Tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
3-4 boneless chicken breasts
2 cups chicken broth
3 cups sugar snap peas
1 cup carrots, julienned
1 small onion, cut wedge slices
1 jar whole mushrooms, drained
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, cubed
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
6 cups penne pasta, uncooked

In large skillet over medium heat, melt butter, add chicken.  Cook 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, stirring occasionally.  Add carrots, inion, mushrooms, broth and salt; heat boiling.  Reduce heat; add peas, cover and cook 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp tender and chicken is done.  Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain.  Stir cream cheese into chicken mixture until completely melted and smooth.  Remove from heat; stir parmesan cheese.  Serve over hot pasta.
