Cooking with Rod's Family

By Melinda Cohenour

My daughter Melissa makes THE most delicious pasta dish using her specially seasoned chicken. I have yet to find anyone who has tasted this dish who did not hanker for MORE.

Note: Delicious alone but Garlic bread or bread sticks are a nice accompaniment. A basic salad with your favorite dressing will please. We like to eat with iced tea or even a fruited lemonade.
