Stir-Fried {Chicken} Pasta

(Dont judge it by the picture…)

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup white wine or additional chicken broth
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups julienned carrots
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1 cup fresh or frozen snow peas, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 6 ounces spaghetti, broken
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions: In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; set aside 3/4 cup. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag; add remaining marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Drain and discard marinade. In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry chicken in 2 teaspoons oil until it’s no longer pink. Remove and keep warm. Stir-fry broccoli and carrots in remaining oil for 6 minutes. Add cabbage and peas; stir-fry until vegetables are crisp-tender. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.

Combine cornstarch and reserved marinade until smooth; add to vegetable mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Drain pasta; stir into vegetable mixture. Return chicken to the pan; cook and stir until heated through. Yield:6 servings.
