This creamy Chicken Pot Pasta is perfect, one-pot comfort food. My husband even said I should make it for his family at his grandma’s house sometime (which is a big deal).

If you love the creamy sauce and hearty chicken and vegetables from a pot pie then I know you’re going to love it as a pasta. An easy, one-pot meal with tons of flavor and maximum comfort creaminess – what’s not to love? Plus it’s just 314 calories or 5 Weight Watchers SmartPoints per serving, and no one will ever guess it’s light.

Since my husband said multiple times how much he loved this one, I’m glad it’s so easy to make and that it uses ingredients we almost always have on hand.

I also often have cooked chicken in the fridge, so if you’re like me feel free to skip the first step of the recipe and just use about a pound of your pre-cooked chicken. Even easier! I’ve also recently become excited about Better than Bouillon (not sponsored, I just started using it and I think it tastes really good) so I used it with water in place of chicken broth.

If you prefer broth or have it on hand, feel free to use that instead (or regular bouillon if that’s what you have). This recipe is also flexible in that you can change up the veggies based on your family’s tastes as well. Feel free to tweak this based on what you have in your fridge and pantry.
