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.

This was a great pasta meal. It sounded a little bland for us, so I added 2 more garlic cloves and some Italian seasonings. Also to save on sodium I used water instead of chicken stock. It had a ton of flavor and my 2.5 year old kept coming back for more. Only complaint is that it was not good left over. It made 2 full meals for my husband and me and our toddler. Next time I will just half the recipe.
