Pasta With Chicken And Vegetables

• olive oil
• 8 ounces rigatoni or penne
• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• 1/2 pound fresh asparagus
• 1/2 cup scallions
• 12 baby carrots cut in half lengthwise
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 nutmeg
• 1 roasted red bell pepper see note
• 6 cherry tomatoes quartered
• 6 tablespoons Parmesan Grated fresh
• salt
• pepper

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; drizzle in a little olive oil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet. Add chicken, and cook over medium heat until the bottom begins to turn golden.
3. Turn chicken over and cook 1 minute longer.
4. Stir in garlic, asparagus (but not peas), scallions, carrots, broccoli, chicken broth, parsley and nutmeg. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp. (If using peas, add after 3 minutes of cooking.)
5. Remove from heat. Stir in roasted pepper and cherry tomatoes.
6. When pasta is cooked, drain and return to pot. Toss with chicken, vegetables and Parmesan over medium heat until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
