Creamy Chicken Linguine with Brie

Meal Ideas

22 Dec

Creamy Chicken Linguine with Brie is an easy weeknight one pot meal of chicken and creamy pasta with hints of fennel and lemon.

Easy weeknight meals are my favorite. It is always an added bonus when I can use something leftover like grilled, shredded or rotisserie chicken to create another meal and if I can do it all in one pot? Amazing!

A special thing about Creamy Chicken Linguine with Brie is that the linguine is cooked in the chicken broth and white wine so the flavors are infused right in to the pasta! With just a hint of lemon and fennel, it is delicious, balanced and super easy to make.
