One Pot Deliciously Creamy Ground Chicken Recipe

This one pot ground chicken dish is absolutely perfect for those busy weeknight dinners. It comes together so easily and quickly, and tastes divine.

Ground chicken paires so well with onions and garlic, creamy sour cream, and best of all spicy cheese!

Comfort food comes in all forms, and for me, growing up in a Persian home it was always rice. I have since realized that pasta is the ultimate comfort food! I grew up in a household where my family wasn’t a big pasta fan, so we rarely ate it.

This dish is literally comfort in a bowl. It’s packed full of amazing flavours. Trust me, if you’re looking for the perfect one pot pasta dish this is the recipe for you, give it a try, you’ll love it!
