Directions

  • 2 Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt margarine over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion and bell pepper; cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from skillet.
  • 3 In same skillet, mix milk, sauce mix (from Chicken Helper box), Italian seasoning, paprika and ground red pepper. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
  • 4 Reduce heat. Cook uncovered 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato pasta sauce, vegetables and chicken. Cook uncovered about 3 minutes longer or until thoroughly heated. Serve over pasta.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

You can use uncooked chicken breasts instead of the rotisserie chicken. After removing vegetables from skillet, melt 2 tablespoons margarine or butter in skillet; carefully add 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Cook over medium-high heat about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until outsides turn white. Beginning with step 3, continue with recipe as written—except omit rotisserie chicken.

Kick up the heat by serving with hot pepper sauce—each person can choose their own heat level!

This was very tasty. It had a nice kick to it and it made a substantial amount. I also added grated parmesian before serving which added extra flavor. I will definitely make this again.

In a word? YUM! I did add some grated parmesan cheese to give extra flavor, as well as to help thicken the sauce. I'll definitely make this again!
