35 minThis is the kind of meal you throw together on a Tuesday when the fridge is looking bare and the kids are already asking what’s for dinner.
Ground chicken cooks up with onions and colorful bell peppers, then gets stirred into a creamy mushroom sauce with cooked pasta and mixed vegetables.
Five minutes with the lid on and everything melds together into a saucy, satisfying skillet dinner.
One pan. Thirty-five minutes. Everybody eats.
Kitchen Tips
- Use low-fat cream of mushroom soup. It keeps the sauce creamy without making it heavy. Thinning it with a half cup of water gets the consistency just right.
- Frozen mixed vegetables work great. Just thaw them first so they don’t drop the temperature of the skillet and slow everything down.
- Any short pasta will do. Rotini, penne, elbows. Whatever shape you have on hand catches the sauce the same way.
