Preparation

Step 1

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides; remove from pan.

Add broth to skillet; increase heat to medium-high. Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in remaining ingredients; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Return chicken to pan. Cook, covered 5-8 minutes or until pasta is tender and a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 170.
