Chicken and Pasta Recipe
A while back I had found a season packet from McCormick called Chicken and pasta in the Italian section of their seasonings. Last week I went back to the only store I had found only to discover that they no longer carried it and all the other stores in the area didn't have it either. So I went to their website wrote down what I needed and put this recipe together and I will be darned it tasted the same exactly to a " T ". Which ends the hunt for that season packet.
