I have made this recipe many times and my family love it. The colors of the pasta, carrots, chicken & sauce make a very attractive dish. It's definitely a keeper.

This recipe is wonderful. I always get rave reviews whenever I serve it. It's a family favorite. My daughters friends took this recipe with them to college. I always make more of the butter/seasoning coating than the recipe calls for. A definate keeper.
