Name: Chicken & Snap Pea Stir-Fry over Angel Hair Pasta
Total time: 35 min
Ingredients: 8 ounces whole-wheat angel hair pasta; 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed; 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided; 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided; ¼ cup all-purpose flour; 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided; 1 medium bulb fennel, cored and sliced; ¼ cup thinly sliced garlic; 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved; 2 cups snap peas, trimmed; ⅓ cup white wine; 4 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain and keep the pasta warm.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cut chicken into 1-inch cubes and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Add chicken and toss to coat.
Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet or flat-bottom carbon-steel wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until browned and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, fennel and garlic to the pan; cook, stirring, until the vegetables just start to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, snap peas, wine, the reserved pasta water and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Continue to cook, stirring, until the tomatoes start to burst, about 3 minutes.
Step 5

Return the chicken to the pan along with tarragon; cook, stirring, until the liquid is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes more. Serve the chicken and vegetables over the pasta.
