Expert Tips

Shrimp or scallops can be substituted for the chicken in this recipe. Reduce the cooking time in step 1 to 4 to 5 minutes.

Save time when you buy boneless skinless chicken breast strips found in the meat department of the supermarket.

Red bell pepper strips or chopped red bell pepper makes a colorful garnish.

This pasta was easy to make and looked delicious, but it was pretty bland. The texture was perfect and it had just the right amount of chicken, pasta, and vegetables, but it needed something to give it more flavor. My husband said it was "good, but nothing special."
