I got this meal idea from one of Super Healthy Kid’s Daily Dinners on facebook. The meal Amy posted was chicken, pasta, and veggies made with a homemade white sauce. I looked up “homemade white pasta sauce” and it looked so easy I gave it a try.

I cooked the whole wheat pasta ahead of time and used frozen veggies and leftover chicken breast so I was able to put this meal together in under 15 minutes!

It was really good and the kids liked the creamy pasta. I served it with bread and fruit. The perfect summer meal.

Have a great weekend!

    I make a similar dish, but I swap peas for the broccli and use orzo for the pasta. My 5 year old and 15 month old love it.

    P.S. I finally found whole wheat orzo at the grocery store. I have yet to test it, but I will let you know the results this week.
