1
In a large skillet sprayed with cooking spray, brown the chicken strips in batches and then transfer into a bowl.

4
Stir in evaporated milk and cranberries, bringing to a boil.
5
Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring often, for about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
6
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook whole wheat pasta for about 10 minutes or until at your desired tenderness. Drain and return to the pot.
7
Add chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce; simmer for about three minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside.
8
