Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup prechopped onion

1/2 cup prechopped celery

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

 

Preparation

1. Combine 2 cups water and chicken broth in a microwave-safe dish, and microwave at HIGH for 5 minutes.

Add onion, celery, salt, pepper, and carrot; sauté 3 minutes or until almost tender, stirring frequently. Add hot broth mixture and pasta; bring to a boil. Cook 7 minutes or until pasta is almost al dente. Stir in chicken; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Stir in parsley.
