PINE NUT AND CHICKEN PASTA

Pine Nut and Chicken Pasta image

Here's a delicious and colorful chicken entrcée that's quick to fix and has an oriental twist. I sometimes add some diced jalapeño pepper to this to "kick it up" a bit! It's good served with a chilled white wine, side salad and breadsticks. Originally printed on a package of pine nuts.
