I Have No Idea (Chicken With Rotini Pasta) image

I threw this together one night when I had no idea what to make for dinner. When my husband asked what we were having, I said, "I have no idea" - and we've called it that ever since. I've added shrimp at the very end and cooked it just until pink - it was even more delicious!

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less red pepper flakes.

I'm not a fan of rotini pasta, but this recipe was still really good. I used penne pasta instead and it worked out great.
