This made for a quick, yummy lunch.I had some leftover grilled chicken from the other night (like 1/4 of a breast). I cooked up 3 different types of pasta because I just wanted to finish them off! I used some Quinoa spirals, rice flour spirals, and even rice flour spaghetti! Just in case you were wondering about the random noodle mix!)
I drained the noodles and diced up the chicken and set both aside. I just rinsed out the pasta pot and kept using it, I hate cleaning more dishes than I absolutely have to! Put some olive oil (about 2-3 tsp. and 1 tsp. garlic (I have a jar of the diced up garlic that makes my life a little easier). Cook garlic about 2 minutes to give the oil a good flavor. Add pasta and chicken. If they are sticking to the pan add more oil. I had frozen peas that looked good to me. If I had had some fresh green beans, or zuchini, or sno peas or asparagus you can bet I would have used them too! Pretty much anything can be added into this. I put on Italian seasonings, and salt and pepper to taste. I also had fresh parmesan cheese on hand, so grated some on top. It was light and fresh and fast. A perfect lunch!
