First meal @ the Brown's

Do you remember the first meal you had at your husbands house when you were "talking" or "dating"? I do!! And we made such fun out of it! We call it "Stephanie's Rigatoni Macaroni with a little bit of broccoli and chicken" haha! And you have to sing it with a little bit of an accent, that makes it all the better! ;) This meal quickly became a favorite to all of us, and I make it regularly! I hope you like it as much as we do! :)

Stephanie's Rigatoni Macaroni 

Ingredients:
8 oz dried rigatoni
2 cups broccoli
2 1/4 - 2 1/2 lb Rotisserie chicken
15.2 oz package of *Alouette garlic and herbs soft spreadable cheese
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, dried and snipped, chopped
1/4 tsp pepper, to taste

1. Cook pasta according to package directions.

2. If using fresh broccoli, add to cooking pasta during last 3 minutes. If using frozen, cook per package instructions.

3. Remove meat from Rotisserie chicken, drain pasta and broccoli and set aside. [This past time I used leftover chicken breasts we already had cooked instead of a Rotisserie. Both work fine]







4. In a large pot, combine milk, cheese, tomatoes, and pepper.

5. Cook, stir until cheese is melted, on medium-low heat.

6. Add sauce to pasta and broccoli.

Then add chicken. [You can add the chicken to the pasta and broccoli previous to this step]

Add more milk if needed.

7. Heat through, about 5-8 minutes.

Enjoy!!
