Ingredients
- 1/2 cup green onions
- 1/2 cup sweet red pepper
- 1-1/2Â cups fresh or frozen Brussels sprouts

Preparation
- Chop the green onions and red peppers.
- Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and boil or steam until just tender.

- While pasta is cooking, drain Brussels sprouts and set aside.
- Heat butter and oil and sauté green onions in skillet.
- Add red peppers and Brussels sprouts, stirring until just golden on the edges.Â

Helpful hints
- Rotini is also known as corkscrew pasta. Three ounces dry (3/4 cup) yields 1-1/2 cups cooked. This recipe calls for whole wheat but you can substitute refined rotini if desired. Potassium and phosphorus will be slightly lower.
- You can bake boneless, skinless chicken breast or tenderloins in a 425°F oven for 18-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Pound the breasts to an even thickness for more even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of chicken for a lower or higher protein meal.
