Satisfying Chicken, Veggies & Pasta

Submitted by HokiesMom

"After looking thru my already posted recipes I realized how much I fall back to chicken dishes that use cheese and veggie combinations. This is another one that I found on a card at my local grocery. It is a bit lighter than a recipe I have posted that uses cream and I love the variety of veggies with this one too. I find the use of the Italian seasonings gives the dish a nice flavor too. Hope you enjoy!"
