Every evening I join my Husband, David in the kitchen to cook dinner. He is our house chef so already knows what we are preparing before I do. Tonight we prepared, OK I just assist mainly, this Italian Herb Baked Chicken & Pasta. The recipe is property of McCormick as it was taken from their packet, stating that this is a NEW recipe. My Son In Law had two helpings and shared that he thought it was good. I had one serving and enjoyed it greatly, must admit I ate two rolls with it. Delicious is my final thought on this dish, filling, and served all 4 adults in our household with ample helpings. Italian Herb Baked Chicken & Pasta
