Busy weeknights call for easy recipes that are ready in minutes and also appeal to the hungry stomachs after a long day. In our house Wednesdays are Pasta days since my kids love pasta.This recipe I have for you is one of the most adored by my kids and they go for seconds.A pasta dish with chunks of tender flavorful chicken and asparagus coated in the creamy sour cream sauce is my idea of a perfectly delicious and satisfying weeknight dinner.You could easily make this a vegetarian meal by omitting the chicken and adding mushrooms instead.The dish takes just a few minutes and yet turns out amazing. It’s filling, healthy and nutritious with the addition of asparagus that works beautifully. I’ve used chicken tenders and sautéed them with a little salt, pepper and paprika but you could also use rotisserie chicken instead. The sour cream adds a rich creamy consistency and the freshly grated Parmesan completes the dish.Enjoy!
