Middle of the week ready for the weekend and tonights awesome dinner recipie !

So its Wednesday night , kids are fed, hubs is out the door for work. I have a ton of work to do tonight but im sooooo fighting the urge to call up some friends and have a good evening ! Any whoodles, tonights dinner came out awesome , i decided I needed some brownie points for my not so splendor behavior lately and to get in the good graces for the weekend, I needed something good but fast as it was totally last minute when I decided to do this ( nothing new there trust me ) soooo here's what we had

Creamy Chicken and Rotini Primavera

Ingredients

1/2 pound dry rotini
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast - cubed
1 pound frozen vegetable mix - thawed
4 ounces Neufchatel cheese (reduced fat cream cheese)
1/2 cup lite Italian dressing
1/2 cup 2% fat milk

Directions

Cook rotini per package directions to desired doneness. Drain well and keep warm.
Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes and cook until no longer pink.
Combine cream cheese, dressing and milk and whisk until smooth.
Add thawed frozen vegetables to chicken along with sauce mixture. Stir well and heat through - about 5 minutes. Serve.




Entirely super easy and fast to make i knocked it out in no time and everyone went insane over it . I made more sauce then what it called for to spruce it up a little, i tripled the sauce and it was just devine, adding it to my favs for a later hook up when im tired of the same old same old ! even the littlest one liked it ! no fights at the dinner table to " eat your dinner and stop playing " !
