Notes

For the cooked chicken in this recipe, you can use shredded rotisserie chicken. Alternatively, you can cook and shred two small chicken breasts, which would yield about two cups of meat.
To make this recipe healthier and higher in fiber, use whole wheat or whole grain pasta.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to five days or in the freezer for up to three months.
