Creamy Chicken Pasta Toss

Here are just a few of the recipes I have been using lately. This one I got from kraftcanada.com

Ingredients:
1 tsp oil
1 lb (500g) boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bit-size pieces (I used chicken breasts)
2 cups milk (it was a little dry, so I might try adding a little more milk....)
1/2 cup herb & garlic cream cheese spread
3 cups rotini or fusilli pasta (225 g.), uncooked
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup shredded cheese

Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 7 min. or until evenly browned, stirring occasionally.
2. Add milk and cream cheese spread; mix well. Bring to boil. Stir in pasta; cover. Reduce heat to medium-low.
3. Cook 10 minutes or until pasta is tender and chicken is cooked through. Add vegetables; cook 5 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese.
