Such a great idea for using up leftovers. I love how quick and easy it is to put together for those busy weekdays.
Chicken, cheese and pasta. Is that ever NOT a good combination?! Perfect comfort food 🙂
That pasta looks so creamy and delicious! What a great mid-week meal!
Whose love language is this not??!! Ha, this looks SO good. Love that cream and cheese and the green onions!! YUM!

I am always looking for recipes for leftover rotisserie chicken! Thanks!
Oh yum! Love all of that cheesy goodness! My youngest and husband would devour this meal.
That's totally me you are describing! If I roast chicken (or boil it for soup), I eat every part of the chicken, except for breast. Seriously, before I moved to North America, I didn't know people would want to pay that much more for breast meats! I can never have enough recipes to use up that leftover chicken breasts 🙂
Yummy! Perfect weeknight dinner!
I love how quick and easy this dish is to throw together with pantry ingredients! Leftover magic!!!
