I rooted around in my fridge and pantry to see what I could find. I had some marinated artichokes, sundried tomatoes, pasta, random veges and some chicken in the fridge. DING! Laziness does have its virtues sometimes. I used some of the marinated artichoke oil to toss the pasta in rather than make a sauce and it gave it a nice light tanginess :D
Pasta tossed with herbed chicken, sundried tomatoes, marinated artichoke, mushrooms and broccoli recipe makes 4-6 servings depending on how hungry you are

1/2 cup sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped into bite sized pieces
1-2 cups marinated artichokes in oil, drained, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon of the marinated artichokes oil

1cup broccoli florets, washed
1 medium onion diced
2-3 cloves garlic minced
2-3 leaves fresh basil
2 teaspoon olive oil

How to

2) While the pasta is cooking, prep your vegetables. Marinate the chicken pieces in optional marinade.
3) In a large deep pan on medium high heat, add 1 teaspoon oil and toss in chicken. Cook stirring occasionally until all the chicken is seared and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Set aside in a bowl
