Szechuan Chicken with Noodles

Another delicious meal that came together really fast.  From start to finish, I think it took me 15 minutes. Most everything I had on hand except the broccoli slaw and pine nuts.  Pine nuts are expensive, so I just bought the required amount from WinCo.  For those who don't have that option, I'd just go without.

Ingredients:
3 boneless chicken breasts, cut on diagonal into thin strips
2 TBS cornstarch
2 tsp oil
3 garlic cloves
1 (10 oz) package broccoli slaw
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
4 oz whole wheat spaghetti pasta, broken into thirds and cooked
2 TBS soy sauce
1 TBS vinegar
2 tsp sugar
2 TBS pine nuts, toasted.

Directions:
1.  Combine chicken and cornstarch in large zip-lock bag. Shake until chicken is coated evenly.

2.  Heat deep skillet with some oil in the bottom.  Add chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, about 3 minutes.  Add garlic and stir fry until fragrant.  Transfer to plate.

3.  Return skillet to heat and add broccoli slaw.  Stir fry until crisp tender, about 4 minutes.  Add scallions and pepper flakes; stir-fry 2 minutes.

4.  Return chicken to skillet along with cooked spaghetti.  Heat through, about 2 minutes.  Mix soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar together.  Add soy sauce mixture to stir fry and mix well.  Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve. :)
