This was a very good recipe. My family loved it and it was so simple to make. I hope to find many more simple, lite recipes like this one.

I hadn't been to the grocery in awhile and was searching for a recipe to make with what I had on hand. I made this with similar ingredients I had on hand-- rotini pasta, bag of frozen broccoli, frozen grilled chicken breast strips, and garlic from a jar. Turned out great, my husband loved it! Chopped the chicken breast strips up into bite-sized pieces. Omitted parmesan cheese because we did not have any.

I needed a quick recipe and my husband likes angel hair pasta. Added a little sour cream.
