Chicken Broccoli Rotini

Tried this yesterday and it was really good. Very easy.

1 tbsp. veg. oil 1/4 tsp. paprika
4 chicken breast halves 1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 can cream of chicken 2 1/2 cups uncooked rotini pasta (corkscrew)
1 1/2 cups water 2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets
1 finely copped green onion (opt.)

1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until well-browned on both sides. Remove chicken from skillet.
2. Stir soup, water, paprika, black pepper, and rotini in skillet. Heat to a boil.
3. Stir in brocolli and green onion. Reduce heat to low. Add chicken back in. Sprinkle chicken with additional paprika and pepper. Cover and cook 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.


This can also be made with instant brown rice, but Steve hates rice, so I haven't tried that, yet. If you do the rice, add it when you add the broccoli instead of when the pasta was added. You'll have to start checking the chicken at 5 minutes instead of 10 because the rice cooks faster than the pasta.

Anyway, it was very good and the twins even liked it. Found it in a magazine.
