We LOVE pasta in my house but were kind of getting burnt out with red sauces. So having a hefty pile of butter in the freezer I decided to try butter in the freezer I decided to mix it up.
This came out so delicious and using fresh summer produce made it even better! You can skip the entire chicken cooking part using precooked chicken strips and cutting it up (even using frozen ones).
