Chicken and Broccoli

This is from the cookbook Trim and Terrific, Meals on the Move by Holly Clegg. I love the flavor that having the red bell pepper in it adds. And it is a simple stove top recipe.

Ingredients: 4 c. broccoli florets, 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 3/4 inch squares ( which I never do, I just cut it however), 1 onion chopped ( I only use half), 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into strips, 1 (10 3/4 oz) can low fat cream of broccoli soup, 1/2 c. water, 1 tsp. dried basil, 1/2 c. shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese (I always just use the full fat stuff. I think the reduced fat is gross), 1 oz. package of fettucini or two cups of cooked rice.

In a large skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, stir-fry the broccoli, red pepper, and onion until crisp tender, about 4 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet. Coat the pan again with nonstick cooking spray and add the chicken. Stir fry until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add the cream of broccoli soup, water, and basil to the skillet. Mix well. Stir in the pepper mixture. Bring to boil; reduce heat, and cook for 10 minutes. Add the cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted. Prepare the pasta (or rice). Serve over the pasta or rice. Serves 4.
