CHICKEN PRIMAVERA

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the zucchini, yellow squash, onion, mushrooms, and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the squashes and onion are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the tomatoes with liquid, broth, oregano, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, prepare the pasta using the package directions, omitting the salt. Drain well in a colander. Pour into a large bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Stir the chicken and peas into the zucchini mixture. Increase the heat to medium and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken and peas are heated through, stirring occasionally. Serve over the pasta.
• Use this recipe as a springboard for experimentation. A few possibilities are using asparagus for one or both types of squash, substituting green onions for red, trying thyme instead of oregano, and/or replacing the fettuccine with whole-grain bowtie pasta.
• Cooking with no-salt-added tomatoes can really make a difference in sodium: On average, one cup of regular canned tomatoes contains 300 mg more than the same amount of tomatoes canned without added salt!
