Confetti Chicken Pasta

This is a dish that I've been wanting to make for awhile, and it was worth the wait! It's a good way to get your vegetable servings in for the day (which is what I really need!). We loved this pasta. I will be making it again soon! I halved this recipe for 2 people, and we had enough for lunch the next day. You can also substitute or add your favorite veggies to the dish.

Ingredients:
1 box pasta
2 Chicken Breasts, cubed
1 c Zucchini
1 c Broccoli florets
1 c diced Tomatoes
1 c diced Bell Peppers
1/2 c diced Onion
1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
2+ Tbsp Olive Oil

Sauce:
2 c Milk
2 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Flour
1 cup Parmesan cheese
Salt and Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes, a few shakes

Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to the box.
2. In a separate skillet, cook combine olive oil, garlic, onion and chicken. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink. In the same skillet, add your veggies with some salt and pepper, and cook until tender.
3. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and whisk in your flour. Add your milk and Parmesan cheese and bring to a slow boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Allow the sauce to boil for 1 minute (continue stirring). Add your seasonings and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat after the 1 minute is up.
4. Combine pasta and sauce, then stir in your vegetables/chicken.
