One pot…thats all The beauty of this dish is that with everything being cooked in the same pot the flavors just keep building as you continue cooking, giving this dish a TON of flavor. First you start with the chicken, spices then the sausage and then comes the cream and pasta. Everything comes together perfectly and then you stir in the cheese to finish off this super easy meal. OH the…
