CHICKEN CACCIATORE (Sort of)

4 servings

 

3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (3/4 to 1 lb)

1 tbsp olive or vegetable oil

1 medium onion, chopped (½ cup)

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

½ cup chopped green bell pepper

¾ cup sliced zucchini or yellow summer squash

¾ cup sliced mushrooms

1 can (14½ oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

½ tsp Italian seasoning

1/8 tsp pepper

4 cups hot cooked radiatore (nugget), farfalle (bow-tie) or rotini pasta

 

Cut each chicken breast half crosswise into 3 pieces. Heat oil in 10” pan over medium-high heat. Stir-fry chicken in oil about 5 minutes or until brown; move chicken to one side of skillet. Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, zucchini and mushrooms to other side of skillet: Cook vegetables about 3 min stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender.  Stir tomatoes, Italian seasoning and pepper into vegetables and chicken.  Heat to boiling; reduce heat.  Cover and simmer 25 minutes.  Uncover and simmer 5 min. longer.  Serve over pasta.
