I wanted a pasta dish but didn't want a heavy sauce. I found a recipe here after Googling "pasta and chicken" and followed the sauce recipe (mostly). I probably made the meal more complicated and time consuming than it needed to be because I added shrimp; mushrooms and broccoli to the pasta dish too. It turned out delicious! The sauce is very light and tasty! (I think it'd be fine with just chicken though!)
