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.

SERVES 8 -10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter or margarine
3-4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2 2/3 cups penne rigate, uncooked
1 bunch fresh asparagus
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided

Directions

1
In 5 quart saucepan over medium heat, melt butter; add chicken.
2
Cook until no longer pink.
3
Add broth; heat to boiling.
4
Add uncooked pasta and pepper, stirring to coat pasta with liquid.
5
Heat to boiling; reduce heat.
6
Cover; simmer 7 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.
7
Add asparagus, continue to cook another 7 minutes or until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.
8
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, stir together soup, milk and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese until smooth; stir into chicken mixture.
9
Heat until mixture just comes to a boil; sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Love this!! Added onions and garlic while cooking the chicken, and added some red pepper flakes for spice.

Fantastic! My dd has been bugging me to make this all week. I didn't have cream of chicken soup, so I used cream of mushroom. I added a little garlic to the chicken while it cooked. Next time I will use fresh penne as the boxed penne took a little bit longer to cook than the recipe stated (or I could partially cook them in boiling water before adding to this recipe). I also used broccoli instead of asparagus. This was delicious and I will be making it again. Thanks for posting it podapo.

Great quick weekday meal. I added some cajun seasoning to the chicken while it browned. I also did not have fresh broccoli so I blanched some frozen broccoli in the microwave before adding it which turned out fine. I will definitely try it with asparagus too. Thanks for the recipe.
