Spicy Chicken Stir-fry - recipe theme

I just cannot get into cooking all of sudden.  The thought of cooking and eating is unappealing.  I get that way when it gets hot sometimes.  I drink ginger ale with bitters and water and find myself wanting pasta salad and egg salad to eat.  This recipe is tasty served cold. So I tried it and it worked for me to get a bit more protein.

Spicy Chicken Stir-Fry

4 oz. pasta, your choice; spaghetti, angel hair, fettuccine all good choices

12 oz. lean ground chicken

1/8 tsp. each salt and pepper

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper

2 cup thawed frozen peas

1 cup lower sodium chicken broth

1/2 cup basil leaves, finely chopped

1/8 tsp. salt

Olive oil cooking spray

Directions:

Cook pasta as label directs.

Heat 12-in. skillet on high until very hot. Coat ground chicken with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring. Add garlic, crushed with press, and crushed red pepper. Cook 1 minute, stirring. Add thawed frozen peas; chicken broth; basil leaves, finely chopped; cooked pasta; and 1/8 tsp. salt. Toss to combine.
