This is easy to put together and a great way to use up leftover chicken, and also wonderful without the addition of the chicken
Small shell pasta will also work well for this, cooked turkey may be used in place if chicken, for a more creamier dish then add in a little more table cream or milk, add in a chopped celery rib for some extra crunch
