Chicken and Peas White Pasta

This is one of my go-to recipes when I really don’t feel like cooking. You know, those days when you just stare at your fridge and pantry and pray that dinner will make itself. I find myself doing this a lot lately! So if you ever find yourself in that position, try our Chicken and Peas White Pasta! It’s quick, easy, and delicious. My boys love having Chicken and Peas White Pasta for dinner because it is just so darn good. This recipe comes from a “cookbook” that was shared with me by my church branch while living on the small island of Dominica. I am sorry to say, however, that I do not know who to credit for this delicious meal!

I fell in love with this recipe because of how easy it is to make and how delicious it is. The ingredients are also very simple and you probably already have them in your pantry or fridge. It was hard to meal plan on the island because we never knew if the ingredients would be available. Some weeks the shipment to the island would be plentiful and then other weeks it was scarce. I remember buying 2-3 gallons of milk to freeze in the freezer just in case there wasn’t any milk in the next delivery! This recipe was a lifesaver because I always had the ingredients on hand. It also comes together very quickly.

When I’m done I like to sprinkle some red pepper flakes to add some heat. I also like to make homemade dinner rolls to go with this dish. It is not a healthy dish by any means, but it is oh so tasty! Enjoy!
