Garden Chicken Stir Fry

My DH, Alberto, is a great cook. I can't get enough of this dish, that he makes.

Prep and cook time: about 30 mintues.
Ingredients:
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 Tablespoons Sliced Green Olives
  • 1 Bell Pepper
  • 1 Yellow Squash (medium size)
  • 1 Zucchini (medium size)
  • 1 Teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 2 Chicken Breast
  • 1.5 Cup Of Mostaccioli Pasta
  • Olive Oil
  • Finely Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Salt, Vinegar & Garlic Powder
Method:
- Put some water to boil with salt to taste and some oil for the pasta.
- Dice the onions, bell pepper.
- Chop the zucchini & yellow squash and set to the side.
- Slice the chicken (Fajita style).

- In a deep skillet, heat (medium to high temp) some olive oil and add the chicken (season to taste: I use salt, vinegar & garlic powder). Add the diced onions and green olives. Cook the mix until golden/brown.

-Make sure to add the pasta to the boiling water.

- Add the bell pepper, zucchini & yellow squash to the mix but do not over cook. After all these ingredients cook for a little while take a 5 oz glass with cold water mixed thoroughly with the corn starch and add to the chicken mix (this will thicken & glaze the mix).

- Turn the temperature down on the mix then strain the pasta and add to the mix, add some finely shredded cheddar cheese (to taste) stir and let sit for a couple of minutes, then serve.
