To prepare, you will typically need to cook some chicken and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Then, combine the contents of the box with the cooked chicken and a specified amount of water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking. Stirring occasionally helps prevent sticking and ensures even cooking. It is designed to be a one-pot preparation after the chicken is cooked.
