So every Sunday my husband smokes a whole chicken. And most weeks I have to come up with some way to use it all, especially if we haven’t eaten a lot of sandwiches. I’m definitely keeping this one in mind to make again. Great comfort food. BTW, I like the pasta at Aldi that has no WW points.

Chicken Pot Pie Noodle Skillet

10 oz whole wheat rotini pasta

1/3 c. diced onion

½ c. sliced celery

2 c. cooked, diced chicken

Dash garlic powder

10 oz frozen peas and carrots

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 TB all-purpose flour

1 c. fat free, low sodium chicken broth

½ c. whipped cream cheese

¼ c. fat free half and half

Boil pasta in salted water; cook al dente. Spray large skillet with cooking spray and cook onion and celery.  When onion is translucent add chicken, garlic powder, peas, carrots, salt and pepper.  Combine well. When peas and carrots are heated through, sprinkle with flour and combine. Add broth, cream cheese and half and half; combine well. Fold in cooked pasta and serve.

Yield: 5 servings.
