What Is the Jason’s Deli Chicken Pasta Primo?
The Chicken Pasta Primo is a tomato-based pasta entrée built around simple, clean flavors. Unlike creamy Alfredo-style dishes, this one relies on a bright tomato-basil sauce that keeps the dish light, tangy, and aromatic. The grilled chicken breast adds lean protein, while Asiago cheese contributes subtle richness without overpowering the sauce.
The penne pasta is cooked al dente so it holds the sauce well and gives the dish structure. The herb focaccia on the side completes the meal and makes it satisfying for lunch or dinner.
There are four versions available:
- Chicken Pasta Primo Original — full portion with chicken
- Pasta Primo Original (No Chicken) — vegetarian version
- Chicken Pasta Primo Lighter — reduced portion with chicken
- Pasta Primo Lighter (No Chicken) — lighter vegetarian version
All versions use the same base ingredients, only the portion size and presence of chicken differ.
