One Pot Wonder Chicken Lo Mein

I found this recipe on facebook so I thought I would see if it would work. Here is what it called for: I did everything it called for except the garlic powder, I don't have any and don't plan on buying any. I love cooking with fresh garlic so I added more of it. I also added celery, and instead of the red bell peppers I used the orange and yellow ones I already had.

Ingredients: 
• 1/2 lb chicken breast, cut into small chunks
• 12oz whole wheat linguini or fettuccine, broken in half
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut in thin 3 inch long strips
• 1 medium red bell pepper, cut in thin 3 inch long strips
• 1 bunch green onions, white part sliced and green part cut in 3 inch long strips
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 C soy sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp corn starch
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 4 C chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/2 C water
• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Directions:
Add the chicken, then the pasta, then the remaining ingredients to a large stockpot and cover. Bring to a boil. Stir and reduce to a simmer. Cook covered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until most of the liquid is gone and the chicken is cooked through

Now for what I didn't like about it. I would cut the chicken in bigger bites so it didn't dry out. Then I would cook the pasta separately so it didn't stick together. Even with stirring it often it clumped together. I had to take out the clumpy pasta and use 2 forks to pull it apart. The spices were good but needed more red pepper flakes or maybe some cayenne. I will try this again with some changes. It wouldn't hurt to add more veggies like cabbage, broccli, or bean sprouts.
