White Wine & Garlic Chicken with Veggies

This is one of my favorite Weight Watchers recipes, I have made it a handful of times. This time I made it exactly the way it told me, in the past I just chopped the chicken into chunks before hand and cook them up first. I like it that way even better. No matter how you prepare the chicken this dish is quick, easy and tasty, perfect for a weeknight meal. 


Serves 2
4 oz whole wheat pasta
1 tsp olive oil
2 chicken breast 
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped onion
1 8oz  package sliced cremini (or button) mushrooms
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional, I left this out)
1 10oz package of Green Giant Baby Vegetables Medley (you can find this at your local grocery store, feel free to substitute you favorite frozen mixed veggies)
1 15oz can fat-free chicken broth

Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions and set aside. Heat olive oil over medium high heat in large non-stick pan. Season chicken breast with salt and cook for a couple minutes on each side, until browned. Remove to plate. 

Add onions and mushrooms to pan and cook, stirring frequently for about 7 minutes until softened and beginning to brown. Add garlic and seasoning and cook for 1 minute. Add wine and cook until almost evaporated. Pour in chicken broth and nestle chicken breast back in skillet. Bring to boil and cover, cook for additional 7-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (turning chicken once during cooking). Toss in cooked Green Giant baby vegetable medley and pasta.

Divide across two plates and serve.
