2tablespoonsdairy-free margarine(Smart Balance)
1large yellow onionchopped
1/2cupcelerychopped
2large cloves garlic
1-1/2cupsgluten free chicken broth(2 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon "Organic Low-Sodium" Base + water)
2/3cupmilk of your choosing(So Delicious Coconut Milk)

1-3/4cupfrozen mixed vegetables
3tablespoonsbrown rice flouror white
12-ouncesgluten free pasta of choice1 box Jovial Elbow Macaroni
Instructions
Preheat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl about the pan. Add the chicken; stirring frequently, cook until all of the liquid evaporates and the chicken browns in some areas, 10 - 15 minutes, depending upon the pan.
Fill a large saucepan with 3 quarts of water; bring to a boil for the pasta.
Lower the heat on the skillet of chicken to medium-low and add the onion and celery, stir and saute until tender, 7 minutes.
Add the garlic and saute 1 minute stirring constantly.
Add a splash of oil to the pasta water and add the pasta. Stir and keep at a low boil for about 10 minutes or until tender to your liking. Drain thoroughly and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Meanwhile, add the chicken broth, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and hoisin sauce (if using) to the chicken. Stir and increase heat to medium-high bring to a boil. Stir in the vegetables and lower heat and simmer for 8 - 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender to your liking.
If the pasta is cold, be sure that your sauce is piping hot. Add the pasta to individual bowls, top with a little chicken mixture, and serve immediately. You can toss the pasta with the chicken mixture to warm all of the pasta if desired, but only if all of the dish will be consumed right away. Otherwise keep the separate as gluten free pasta absorbs liquid rapidly, leaving pasta tasting dry once rewarmed.
Sprinkle the rice flour over the top and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute.
