1. Cooking is easiest when all the pieces are about the same size, so try to chop the veggies uniformly.
2. Put on pot and boil water. Cook pasta according to directions while cooking chicken.
2. Spray cooking spray into a pan, sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, cook until just done. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Pour olive oil into hot pan. Put all of the veggies into the pan and turn on high. Add garlic. Stir frequently to ensure all veggies get sauteed. About 10 mins.
4. Pour jar of pasta sauce into pan. Add wine, balsamic vinegar, and sugar. Season with Italian seasoning or fresh herbs. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir well. Turn down heat to medium and allow to simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
