Cooking Steps
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.
Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.
Drain and return cavatappi to pot.
While cavatappi cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook, undisturbed, until slightly softened and browned, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.
Add chicken to pan with veggies. (TIP: If pan seems dry, add a drizzle of oil.) Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Stir diced tomato, tomato paste, and ⅓ cup water (¾ cup for 4 servings) into pan with chicken and veggies. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
Turn off heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper. TIP: If stew seems too thick, add more water a splash at a time.
Toss drained cavatappi with 3 TBSP butter (6 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Taste and season with salt.
Divide buttered noodles between shallow bowls. Top with stew and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This should have been amazing. Love the dark meat. But the stew at the end was so bland. I had to add so much salt to make it interesting. Maybe adding different seasonings (maybe something spicy?) or maybe real garlic (I couldn't really taste the powder) would have made the stew more dynamic.
I was thinking this might be a little bland and not saucy enough. I was wrong. There's such a good richness from the buttered pasta and enough stew to coat everything. Very satisfying on some of the colder days this winter!
I didn't think I would like this one but it was awesome! It's simple but there's lots of flavor and so easy to make. It's also very filling.
Super quick and simple to make but still had a lot of flavor
Surprised at how much I loved this one! My husband really wanted it, but I was iffy. Not sure why! It was so good and would get it again if it becomes available in the future!
Loved the flavors and perfect texture. Cavatappi? Yes please and double the order next time please
Very filling and more than enough to feed me and hubby.
Didn't like the tomato base. Would have preferred something like a chicken stroganoff.
I really liked the combo but I found the tomato sauce to be too acidic. I added cream to the leftovers and it was delicious
Very yummy! Added a little Worcestershire into the stew and a side of peas.
