Creamy Chicken and Rotini Primavera


Another word I like to see on a recipe card: CREAMY. Yes. Not just for dessert either!  The balance of the word Primavera balances this recipe out though, since that means vegetables in Italian. (I think. I will have to ask google later.)

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. dry rotini
2 T. vegetable oil
1 1lb. boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 lb. frozen vegetable mix, thawed (I used broccoli, cauliflower and carrot mix)
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. Italian dressing
1/2 c. milk

Cook rotini per package directions and drain. In heavy skillet, cook chicken cubes in hot oil. In bowl, combine cream cheese, dressing and milk; whisk until smooth. Add thawed vegetables to chicken along with sauce mixture. Stir well and heat through, about 5 minutes. 

This recipe is also good with cubed turkey cutlets. Also a good way to use up leftover chicken or turkey.
