Preparation

1 NOTE: Simplify last-minute preparation by cutting up the chicken and vegetables the night before. 2 Cook pasta according to package directions, EXCEPT omit oil. Drain well. 3 Meanwhile, rinse chicken; pat dry. Cut chicken into 3/4-inch pieces. For sauce, stir together chicken broth, cornstarch, salt, and pepper; set aside. 4 Spray a COLD wok or large skillet with non-stick coating. Preheat wok or skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, oregano, and thyme; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and zucchini; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes more or till vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove vegetables. 5 Add oil to wok or skillet. Then, add chicken; stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes or till tender and no longer pink. Stir sauce, add to wok or skillet. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Cook for 2 minutes more. Stir in tomato, vegetable mixture, and pasta. Cook till heated through. 6 Makes 4 (1 1/3-cup) servings. One serving equals 2 1/2 Lean Meat 7 NOW THIS IS HOW "I" MADE IT: I used the multi flavored corkscrew macaroni...already cooked, diced chicken...bouillon cube and water....(since I used the bouillon, I did not add the salt)...did not have zucchini so I used broccoli.
