Ptitim with chicken and vegetables

Bright and delicious lunch for the whole family in 30 minutes. The dish turns out to be very tasty and satisfying. You can take any vegetables to your taste, the most important thing is not to overcook them, so that they do not turn into porridge. By the way, ptitim can be boiled separately (you need to cook in a large amount of salted water, like ordinary pasta, and then throw it on a sieve), and add it to the vegetables ready-made, so you definitely won't overcook anything. Help yourself!
