Method
 

Cooking Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Incorporate Chicken and Vegetables
  1. Stir in cooked chicken and frozen mixed vegetables. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Create the Sauce
  1. Pour chicken broth and heavy cream into the skillet. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
  1. Fold the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring it is coated in the sauce. If desired, stir in grated Parmesan cheese to melt.
Garnish and Serve
  1. Remove from heat and serve in bowls. Top with fresh parsley for garnish.

Notes

Cook pasta al dente to prevent mushiness. Sauté onions and garlic gently to enhance their flavor. Add vegetables last to retain crunch. Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 months.
