I found this recipe, Angel Hair Pasta with Chicken, about 15-20 years go and we make it often. I think I got the recipe in the mail one day from Taste of Home, but I’m not positive. Regardless of where I got the recipe, it is a favorite for our family. Everyone loves it.

One of the great things about this recipe is that you can add a good variety of vegetables to it. The original recipe just calls for broccoli and carrots, however, we’ve made it with cauliflower, snow peas, and more. It just depends on the mood you are in. You can even substitute the Angel Hair Pasta with another noodle of choice.

It isn’t often when your children request a specific meal that you wouldn’t expect them to ask for. However, this is one of those meals. Even though it has vegetables in it, the kids seem to love it.

As for myself. I love it because it is not only easy to make, but it is also a quick meal and not a lot of dishes. One stock pot for the noodles and another for the remaining ingredients.
