While pasta is cooking, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add all vegetables except the tomatoes and add Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing Mix. Let cook for 3-4 minutes. Add tomatoes, chicken, and broth. Stir and continue to cook for five minutes or until vegetables are crisp tender.
