This creamy chicken pasta is the happy result of being hungry after returning from a week away from home, not having done any groceries, and having only what was available in the fridge and pantry. Using some chicken, pasta and cherry tomatoes, along with some other miscellaneous items, we ended up with this deliciously creamy chicken pasta that we’ll definitely be making again and again.
