This Asian-inspired angel hair pasta dinner is perfect for busy weeknights. Sauteed chicken ups the protein content, while the veggies add satisfying crunch. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil |
4 cups fresh snow pea pods, trimmed |
1 cup julienne-sliced sweet yellow pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper |
8 ounces skinned, boned chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained |
3 large cloves garlic, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon chinese five-spice powder |
8 ounces capellini (angel hair pasta), uncooked |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add snow peas and next 5 ingredients; saute 5 minutes or until chicken is done. Add salt and five-spice powder; cook 1 additional minute. Remove from heat, and set aside.
