Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ounces chicken, cooked

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup pasta twists, cooked

Preparation

Helpful hints

  • Chicken may be increased to 6 ounces for those on dialysis. Protein content will be increased to 29 grams per serving.
  • For quick preparation, use 1-1/4 cups of a frozen vegetable mixture of similar composition to replace fresh vegetables.
  • Add more or less red pepper flakes to suit your own tolerance for spicy foods.
  • Squeeze on lemon juice or sprinkle with balsamic vinegar to add a tangy flavor.
