These Carbs Don't Count

This Vodka Sauce Chicken Pasta is bold, creamy, and packed with flavor. Tender bites of pan-seared chicken are coated in a velvety tomato cream sauce infused with garlic and a shot of vodka. Finished with Parmesan, basil, and just the right seasonings, this dish is indulgent without being overly heavy. A perfect dinner for date night or any night that deserves a little extra deliciousness.
