Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes, drain.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until browned completely, 3 to 5 minutes. Add asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and mushrooms, continue to cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes more.

  3. Pour chicken broth over the vegetable mixture, place a cover on the skillet, and continue cooking until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

  4. Stir cooked pasta into the vegetable mixture, season with red pepper flakes and top with feta cheese.
