ASIAN STYLE CHICKEN, BROCCOLI AND ZITI

Asian Style Chicken, Broccoli and Ziti image

If you like the "normal" chic, broc, ziti recipe but would like a tasty variation, this recipe will work nicely for you. Also great to make ahead the 3 main ingredients (cook the ziti, steam the broccoli and cook the chicken) and then combine and heat when ready to serve. The marinating takes the longest to do but once that's done, this dish comes together quickly.
