Ingredients

    4 oz of whole wheat pasta - I used spaghetti
    2 oz of green peas - I used snap, sliced in 1" pieces
    1/2 Tbsp. of Olive Oil
    1/2 Tbsp of Butter
    1/2 of med. Zucchini cut into moon shapes
    1/2 Red Onion - halved or quartered
    1/2 Red Sweet Pepper - Cored, seeded and diced
    1/2 cup Cherry Tomato - I used one med. tomato sliced
    1 Tbsp. Parmesan Cheese
    12 oz Boneless Chicken Breast - 6 oz each

Directions

In a large pot heat water to cook pasta. When water boils add pasta and beans. Cook for about 7 - 10 minutes or until pasta is done. Drain in colander and set aside.

Mean while heat grill on medium heat and grill chicken. Cook until done, about 10 minutes. Slice into strips.

In a large skillet, add olive oil and butter. Add zucchini,onion, pepper and cook until tender, about 5minutes. Add tomato, stir in pasta and bean mixture, chicken and heat till warm. Sprinkle with cheese and I added some fresh basil from the garden for extra flavor.

If pasta seems dry, add a little bit more olive oil.

Enjoy!
