Directions

Cook past according to instructions. I like Rotini, but any pasta will do.
Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Cut up vegetables and set aside.
Heat oil in wok or frying pan. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink. Add vegetables and continue cooking until vegetables are al dente. Add butter and heat until melted. Add flour and stir until vegetables and chicken are coated with flour. Slowly add milk and cook until thickened. Add more milk if necessary. Add the cheeses and continue cooking until melted and sauce is bubbly. Add drained pasta and stir until evenly mixed.

    Very colorful and rich-tasting. I didn't have Mozzarella cheese and put in Provolone, and it worked OK. (too stringy) Nice low calorie, low fat main dish. - 10/30/07
