Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat rotini pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 pound chicken, cut into bite-size pieces
10 asparagus spears, cut into 1/2-inch lengths
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 small yellow squash, sliced
½ small onion, sliced
½ cup sliced mushrooms
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until browned completely, 3 to 5 minutes. Add asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and mushrooms; continue to cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes more.
Pour chicken broth over the vegetable mixture, place a cover on the skillet, and continue cooking until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir cooked pasta into the vegetable mixture; season with red pepper flakes and top with feta cheese.

I found this recipe on another web site and made it for Sunday night dinner - the family loved it. I wanted to get it posted before I lost the recipe. You could low carb this recipe by omitting the pasta and serving on a bed of salad greens.
