Steps:
- Slice zucchini lengthwise and cut across into half moons. Cut tomatoes and red pepper into larger dice. Mince garlic. Set all aside.
- Cut chicken breasts into bite-size pieces (about 1 inch - 2.5 cm each.) Set aside.
- Add olive oil to a large pot set on medium high heat and heat for a minute or two. Add chicken and sauté for approximately 10 minutes until lightly browned. Stir occasionally.
- Add prepared zucchini, tomatoes, red peppers and garlic to the same pot. Sprinkle with basil, oregano, rosemary, sea salt and black pepper. Stir and sauté 5-7 minutes over medium high heat until vegetables are just tender crisp. Leave in pot but remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, bring chicken broth and white wine to a boil in a separate pot over medium high heat. Stir in the pasta and use a spoon to push pasta down so it is submerged in the broth to ensure even cooking. Reduce heat to medium and cook according to package directions and until pasta is just al dente as it will be heated more in the next step. Stir during cooking to prevent pasta from sticking.
- Remove one cup (250 mL) of broth from the pasta pot to a medium bowl and set aside. Stir in cornstarch and whisk until no lumps remain.
- Add pasta with remaining liquid and cornstarch mixture to the chicken and vegetables. Stir and cook over medium heat a few minutes or until sauce thickens.
- To serve, sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley (optional garnish).

Steps:
- For the sandwich spread: In a small bowl, combine dried tomatoes and the boiling water. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer undrained tomato mixture to a food processor. Add roasted red peppers, balsamic vinegar, oregano, garlic, and black pepper. Cover and process until smooth.
- Lightly coat an unheated panini griddle, covered indoor electric grill, or large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat according to manufacturer's directions or preheat over medium heat. Add chicken. If using griddle or grill, close lid and grill for 6 to 7 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. (If using skillet, cook chicken for 10 to 12 minutes or until no longer pink, turning once.) Cool chicken slightly; split each chicken piece in half horizontally and cut crosswise into 2-inch-wide slices.
- Spread the sandwich spread on cut sides of rolls. Place chicken on the roll bottoms. Using a vegetable peeler, cut very thin lengthwise strips from the zucchini. Place zucchini strips on top of the chicken. Place roll tops on top of the zucchini, spread sides down. Press down lightly. Lightly coat the top and bottom of each sandwich with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place sandwiches on griddle, grill, or skillet, adding in batches if necessary. If using griddle or grill, close lid and grill for 2 to 3 minutes or until bread is toasted. (If using skillet, place a heavy saucepan or skillet on top of sandwiches. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until bottoms are toasted. Carefully remove saucepan or top skillet-it may be hot. Turn sandwiches; top again with the saucepan or skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more or until bread is toasted.)

Found this in a diet-type cookbook, doesn't taste like a diet dish. The pasta can be cooked while the rest of the dish is prepared.

Steps:
- Drain the artichokes reserving the marinade. Cut any large pieces in half and set aside.
- In a large skillet heat the oil over med-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink then add the garlic and cook till the chicken has browned to desired doneness.
- Add the reserved marinade, broth and wine; and if using the dried oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered for 10 minutes. Stir in the artichokes and olives; simmer for 5 to 10 minutes;add the hot cooked pasta and simmer for 10 minutes or until sauce is absorbed; (at this point the orignal recipe called for the dish to be served over the pasta with the sauce poured over it, however I felt the sauce was to thin and didn't stick well to the pasta).
- Serve with the crumbled feta cheese.
- Great with a salad.
