Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons plum sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  •  
  • 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup fat free sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon coarse grained prepared mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
