               cooking spray
            3 tbs. olive oil, divided
            4 cloves crushed garlic
           12 oz. sliced mushrooms
             3 tbs. margarine
             3 tbs. flour
       1 1/2 cups fat-free chicken broth
          1/2 cup dry white wine
       1 1/2 cups fat-free half & half
             3 tbs. tomato paste
           10 sun-dried tomatoes (not it oil)
             1 head broccoli, cut into florets
             1 jar artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed and cut into quarters
           10 oz. fresh spinach, washed and torn or cut into small pieces
             3 plum tomatoes, diced
           10 kalamata olives, pitted and cut in half
             3 tbs. pine nuts, toasted
             4 tbs. grated Parmesan cheese

Toast the pine nuts in the microwave 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly browned; set aside.  Soak the sun-dried tomatoes 10 minutes in water.  Drain and finely dice; set aside.  Steam the broccoli
florets until tender-crisp; set aside.
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium high heat.  Add 1 tbs. olive oil to the skillet, and when it is heated add the chicken.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken begins to brown, about 10 minutes; remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.  Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet along with the garlic and mushrooms and saute' for about 5 minutes;  remove from skillet and set aside.  Melt the margarine in the skillet over medium heat; sprinkle with flour and stir with a wire whisk while gradually adding the chicken broth.  Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3 to 4 minutes.  Add the fat-free half & half, wine, tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes.  Simmer over medium heat about 5 minutes.  Return the chicken and mushrooms to the skillet.  Add the broccoli, artichokes, spinach, plum tomatoes and parsley.  Cook over medium heat just until the spinach begins to wilt, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a large serving dish and top with the toasted pine nuts and grated Parmesan cheese.  This recipe serves 8 and has
6 points per serving.
