List of Ingredients




6 oz ditalini or other small pasta
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
8 oz thin sliced chicken breast cutlets, cut into strips*
1 tsp olive oil
2 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise & thinly sliced
1 cup coarsely diced red onion
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup water
1 can (10 oz) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
3 oz shredded part skim mozzarella


Recipe



Prepare pasta. Drain and set aside if pasta finishes before chicken.

While pasta is cooking, crumble together 1/4 tsp thyme, 1/4 tsp basil with salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes in a cup.

Sprinkle over both sides of the chicken strips.

Brush a large, heavy no stick skillet with the oil (I used pam spray) and heat over medium high heat. Add the chicken strips and saute for about 2 min per side, or until lightly browned and cooked thru. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate.

Add the tomatoes, zucchini, onions, broth, water and the remaining 1/4 tsp thyme and 1/4 tsp basil to the skillet, and toss to blend well. Simmer, tossing frequently for 4-5 minutes or until the tomatoes have collapsed and the veggies are tender.

Add the beans and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until heated thru.

Stir in the drained pasta. Place the chicken on top of the pasta and veggies; pour any chicken juices that have collected on the plate over the chicken and sprinkle with the cheese. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 3-4 minutes or until cheese is melted.
