Pasta & Chicken Stirfry
The key to most of my dinner meals is having several ingredients already cooked up and prepared,
hanging out in the refrigerator and waiting to be "cut, shredded and tossed' in the pan.
This particular delish-dish calls for some shredded chicken and whole grain pasta; having these two ingredients already cooked makes the meal quicker to put together.
You'll need 1 to 1 1/2 cups cooked pasta per person, 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken per person, several cups of broccoli florets (steamed and cooked until 'almost done' and set aside), 1/2 cup red bell peppers from the jar and some of the juice, a handful of mushrooms-coarsely chopped, handful of cherry tomatoes cut in half, 1-2 cloves of chopped garlic, bit of grated Parmesan cheese and seasoning (I like Weber's Kick'n Chicken Seasoning for this dish) to taste.
Into the hot frying pan it all goes...in this order:
garlic and mushrooms and a little of the juice from the jar of red bell peppers
...stir for a minute or so
add pasta and chicken and red bell peppers
...stir some more
add seasoning, lower heat and let ingredients heat through for a couple of minutes
stir everything again
Right before your ready to serve up, add broccoli florets and stir just until heated through
Gently toss in tomatoes and Parmesan and any final seasoning you like....
serve onto warm plates!
