Blue Ribbon Recipe
When you need a simple and filling dinner idea, make this creamy chicken rigatoni. It's a restaurant-quality meal. Mushrooms, cubed chicken breasts, and rigatoni are tossed in a creamy sauce. Using Marsala wine and white wine in the sauce adds a robust, almost sweet flavor. We served this with garlic bread and enjoyed a fantastic pasta and chicken dinner.
