  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound small-shaped pasta

If you'd like, you can substitute a thawed and drained 16-ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables for the squash and zucchini. Just add them when the chicken is almost cooked.

This sounds like a pretty healthy dish, especially if we'd use whole wheat pasta. In my opinion, a tiny bit of minced garlic would add more flavor. Also, I would first brown the veggies...take them out of the pan and hold them...and then brown the chicken. I'd then mix the cooked veggies & the cooked chicken together and add in the cooked pasta. Put it all on a large serving platter and grate some Parmesan cheese on top. I'd serve it with a nice Tossed Salad on the side.
