Bow Ties with Asian Chicken

Bow Ties with Asian Chicken

1 pound bow ties, mostaccioli or other medium pasta shape, uncooked
4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard with seeds
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 small red bell peppers, cored, seeded and thinly sliced lengthwise
6 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
Freshly ground pepper

Stir the soy sauce, honey, lime juice and mustard in a small bowl
until the honey is dissolved. Add the chicken pieces and turn until
coated with the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Transfer the chicken and marinade to a large, nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour in the chicken broth.

Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain thoroughly in a colander. Return the pasta to the pot, add the contents of the skillet, the red peppers and the scallions.

Heat to simmering over low heat. Toss the pasta once or twice, add the pepper to taste and divide among serving bowls.
