My best friend's mom used to make us a version of this in high school. It is very light, and you can add pretty much anything you want!

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound penne pasta
¼ cup olive oil
1 large skinless, boneless chicken breast half - cut into cubes
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
2 cups broccoli florets
1 (3 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Cook pasta in boiling water until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast, and cook until browned on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and capers, and continue cooking until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes longer. Remove chicken from pan.
  • Using the same pan, add asparagus, broccoli, mushrooms, and water to the juices remaining in the pan. Cover, and simmer until the broccoli and asparagus are tender. Layer pasta, chicken, and vegetables in a large platter or bowl to serve.
