3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
2 tablespoons plum sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cups elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup low-fat mayonnaise
½ cup fat free sour cream
1 teaspoon coarse grained prepared mustard
