I made this exactly as posted and ended up with a pleasant meal that was easy to put together. The sauce was a little thin for me, so it didn't cling to the rotini as well as I would have liked. I also would have preferred that the chicken be browner and have more color. I think next time, I would cook the chicken breasts fully to get them a nice brown color, then dice it before mixing with the pasta, sauce, and vegetables. Thanks for sharing this quick dinner idea!
