Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
This is a hearty meal that is great for food prep and for leftovers. I like rotini pasta in this dish for the texture, but you can really use any pasta you want. Try and few combinations and see what you like the best.
You can leave the chicken out for a vegetarian option, or use pork instead for a different flavor profile.
