Chicken And Penne Parmesan


Can also use broccoli in place of asparagus for those that don't like it. My 3 year old grandson gobbles this up. I had tried something similar in a restaurant that was to die for, so found something similar and changed it to my tastes.

Steps


In 5 quart saucepan over medium heat , melt butter.
Add chicken.
Cook until no longer pink.
Add broth.
Heat to boiling.
Add uncooked pasta and pepper , stirring to coat pasta with liquid.
Heat to boiling.
Reduce heat.
Cover.
Simmer 7 minutes , stirring every 2 minutes.
Add asparagus , continue to cook another 7 minutes or until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile , in medium bowl , stir together soup , milk and 1 / 2 cup parmesan cheese until smooth.
Stir into chicken mixture.
Heat until mixture just comes to a boil.
Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
