White Cheddar Chicken Pasta Recipe

Updated on February 1st, 2021

White cheddar chicken pasta is a dish that will probably end up among your favorites. This particular dish is something that I could eat at least once a week. I have tried a lot of different chicken pasta recipes but this has to be one of the best. The chicken is seasoned with dry mustard, thyme, and salt and pepper for an all around great flavor. The best part which is the sauce combines ingredients such as white cheddar cheese, wine, milk, and garlic. There are additional seasonings added to the sauce for even more flavor. There is even a little bit of red pepper flakes to add a nice kick to this recipe. Enjoy.
