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
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup cooked pasta twists

Preparation

Chop bell pepper and onion. Dice chicken.
Place oil in a large nonstick frying pan and stir-fry the bell pepper, onion and broccoli. Sprinkle with the rosemary, basil, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and salt.
Stir in the cooked chicken.
Mix chicken broth with cornstarch and add to vegetable and chicken mixture. Cook until thickened slightly. Stir in the cup of hot cooked pasta.

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.
