Ingredients

  • 4 sprays of vegetable oil spray
  • 4 ounces spaghetti, whole wheat uncooked
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (or cooking oil of choice)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, skinless and diced (8 ounces)

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Lightly spray an 8-inch square baking dish with vegetable oil spray.
  3. Prepare the spaghetti using the package directions, omitting the salt and oil. Drain well in a colander.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the bell peppers and onion for 4 to 5 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
  5. Pour into a large bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients, including the spaghetti. Pour into a baking dish.
