Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your creamy pasta turns out perfectly:
- Feel free to add in some sautéed vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition and flavor.
- If you want a little kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- Make sure to taste and adjust the seasoning as needed; every palate is different!
How to Serve
This Chicken Pasta is best served warm, straight from the skillet. I love to pair it with a simple side salad or some garlic bread for a complete meal. You can also sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top for that extra cheesy goodness.

Make Ahead and Storage
This creamy rotisserie chicken pasta is perfect for meal prep! You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat it on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream to loosen it up. If you want to freeze it, I recommend doing so before adding the pasta. You can freeze the creamy chicken mixture for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy it, just thaw it in the fridge overnight and then cook your pasta fresh!
So there you have it! A delicious, creamy rotisserie chicken pasta that’s sure to become a family favorite. I hope you enjoy making this dish as much as I do. Happy cooking!
