Ingredients:

4 oz corkscrew macaroni
3/4 lb chicken breast halves, bones and skinless
2/3 cup chicken broth
2 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 nonstick spray coating

1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/4 tsp dried thyme, crushed
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup halved zucchini slices
2 tsp cooking oil

Instructions:

NOTE: Simplify last-minute preparation by cutting up the chicken and
vegetables the night before.

Cook pasta according to package directions, EXCEPT omit oil. Drain
well.

Meanwhile, rinse chicken; pat dry. Cut chicken into 3/4-inch pieces.
For sauce, stir together chicken broth, cornstarch, salt, and pepper;
set aside.

Spray a COLD wok or large skillet with non-stick coating. Preheat wok
or skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, oregano, and thyme;
stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and zucchini; stir-fry for 2 to
3 minutes more or till vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove vegetables.

Add oil to wok or skillet. Then, add chicken; stir-fry for 3 to 4
minutes or till tender and no longer pink. Stir sauce, add to wok or
skillet. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Cook for 2 minutes
more. Stir in tomato, vegetable mixture, and pasta. Cook till heated
through.

Makes 4 (1 1/3-cup) servings. One serving equals 2 1/2 Lean Meat
Exchanges; 1 1/2 Starch/Bread Exchanges; 1 Vegetable Exchange; 1/2 Fat
Exchange.

NOW THIS IS HOW "I" MADE IT: I used the multi flavored corkscrew
macaroni...already cooked, diced chicken...bouillon cube and
water....(since I used the bouillon, I did not add the salt)...did
not have zucchini so I used broccoli.

This recipe is from BETTY HOMES AND GARDENS "DIABETIC COOK BOOK".

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
