I tried this recipe for the first time and all Nick said was “omg.” over and over. I guess I will be adding this one to the rotation. ;) This recipe makes a pretty large quantity, but will make great leftovers, so we didn’t mind! 

Cheesy Chicken Pasta

Ingredients: • 2 Cups Cooked Diced Chicken • 2 Tbsp. Garlic, Minced • 1 Can Sloppy Joe Sauce + 1 Can Water • 2 Cups Chicken Broth • 1 Box of Pasta (I used whole wheat rotini, but any small pasta will do!) • 2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese • 1 Tbsp. EVOO

Instructions: Heat a small amount of EVOO in a large pot. Add garlic and sauté for one minute. Then add cooked chicken and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add chicken broth, sloppy joe sauce, water, and pasta to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until pasta is cooked through. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar until completely melted. Enjoy the cheesy goodness!

While warm, place potatoes into a medium sized bowl. Add Greek yogurt, agave nectar, and cinnamon and mash with a potato masher or wooden spoon. Mix well. Add more Greek yogurt as a topping if desired.
