Ingredients

  • 6 oz. (2 1/2 cups) uncooked rainbow rotini (spiral pasta)
  • 2 cups frozen broccoli
  • 1 cup nonfat sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken breast
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1 (4.5-oz.) jar sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps

  • 1
    In large saucepan or Dutch oven, cook rotini to desired doneness as directed on package, adding broccoli during last 5 minutes of cooking time.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, combine sour cream and flour; blend well. Stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until hot but not boiling. Stir in chicken, basil, mushrooms and 3 tablespoons of the cheese. Cook until thoroughly heated.
  • 3
    Drain rotini and broccoli; return to saucepan. Add chicken mixture; toss to coat. Place mixture in serving dish or on serving platter; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon cheese.

  • When a recipe calls for diagonally sliced chicken, put it in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes first. The meat will firm up just enough to make diagnoal slicing easier.
