This native Italian dish is not only delicious but amazingly simple to prepare. Perfect for mid-week dinners.

 Ingredients:
1 package (1 1/4 lbs.) HARVESTLAND® Fresh Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 medium zucchini (10 ounces), cut in 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium bell pepper, red yellow or green, seeded, cut in 1/2 inch pieces
1 jar marinara or pasta sauce (24-26 ounces)
2 tablespoons dry red wine
8 ounces whole wheat rotelle or penne pasta
2 - 3 cups broccoli florets

 Instructions:
1. Start boiling a large pot of water to cook pasta. Flatten chicken to thickness of 3/4 inch using a mallet or palm of hand.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.

3. Add zucchini, bell pepper, sauce and wine to skillet. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 8-10 minutes or until chicken reaches 170ºF and vegetables are tender.

4. While chicken is cooking, cook pasta according to package directions, adding broccoli during last 2 minutes of cook time. Drain. Serve chicken and sauce over pasta and broccoli.

Variation:
For a spicy version, replace part of the marinara with salsa.
