I have made this Balsamic Chicken Pasta so many times in my life, I think I could make it with my eyes closed. It is such a simple meal and my whole family loves it. If you need a meal that can be put together and made in less than 30 minutes, you’ll want to bookmark this recipe for sure.

When using pasta never rinse! Your pasta will soak up the flavor of the sauce if you don't. When you rinse pasta it can't take on flavor. Just drain pasta and add sauce. It wil make such a huge difference to the flavor of your pasta dishes. Try it you will never rinse again!
