  • PREP TIME 35 Min
  • TOTAL TIME 35 Min
  • SERVINGS 4

 

1
tablespoon vegetable oil
1
lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces
1
clove garlic, finely chopped
1 3/4
cups Progresso® chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1
cup uncooked orzo or rosamarina pasta (6 oz)
1
can (14.5 oz) Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
1
medium zucchini, cut lengthwise in half, then cut crosswise into slices (2 cups)
2
tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken and garlic in oil 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is brown.
  • 2 Stir in broth and pasta. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most of liquid is absorbed.
  • 3 Stir in tomatoes and zucchini. Cook uncovered 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up tomatoes with spoon, until zucchini is tender. Sprinkle with cheese.

Expert Tips

For a change of pace and a little stronger cheese flavor, look for shredded Asiago cheese in containers near the other cheeses.

The chicken breasts will be super easy to cut if they are partially frozen.

    Great meal! These are the tweaks I made to make the recipe to my family's liking: I added some Italian seasoning while sauteing the chicken, it helped to give it a little more flavor. I also added a small onion with a few extra cloves of garlic to the chicken/garlic as well. One other addition I made was putting matchstick carrots in with the zucchini and tomatoes. Do to lactose-intolerance in the family, I left out the Parmesan cheese, and it really wasn't missed although I think it would taste wonderful with it as well. The family loved it and it is a keeper!
