This was our dinner and desert last night (well within rules, taken within 24 hrs it's posted). We came across this recipe in one of the Kraft mailers, and we've enjoyed it several times in the last couple months. Its quick and tasty.

Speedy Chicken Stir-Fry

8 oz angel hair pasta, uncooked

2 cups broccoli florets*

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces

1/2 cup Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing (I use closer to 3/4)

2 TBS soy sauce

1/4 tsp. each ground ginger, garlic powder, crushed red pepper

1/3 cup dry roasted peanuts

Cook pasta as directed on package, adding broccoli to the boiling water for the last 3 minutes. Meanwhile, spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray, heat on medium high. Add chicken; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until cooked through, stirring occasionally. Stir in dressing, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper; cook a couple minutes stirring occasionally.

Drain pasta mixture; and dole out onto plates or bowls. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over top the pasta. Sprinkle with the peanuts.

*** You can substitute snow peas for the broccoli too!

The desert is very simple. I baked some chocolate chip cookies, and when they were cooled, I spooned some vanilla ice cream onto one, and placed another on top to make ice cream sandwiches. Then I rolled the edges in sprinkles.
