This was very easy to make and the french onion flavor is great!

I have this exact recipe but have adapted it a little. Adding a roughly chopped Spanish Onion and 2 slices of lean bacon (trimmed of fat) as the chicken browns gives some great additional flavour. I would strongly suggest using half pasta and half vegies (such as carrots, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower etc), and also experiment with various types of pasta (spinach pasta is a favourite of mine).
