Are there any tips that you can suggest?

Please, use real butter, not margarine. This will give it a creamy, buttery taste. You can use any boneless chicken, breasts or thighs.

Variations:

You could use a different form of pasta if you want versus what the recipe calls for. If you use bone-in Chicken, be sure to de-bone the chicken before serving it. You can use pre-cooked chicken if you want. You will need to adjust the cooking time.

• salt & pepper, to taste; can add some parsley too if desired
• Mixed vegetables, optional I didn’t use this time.
