Heat the oil in a large saucepan over moderate heat for 1 minute. Add the onion and sauté until limp -- about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute more.

2

Stir in the red and green peppers, cover, and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are glossy and crisp-tender -- 5 to 6 minutes more. Add the zucchini and marjoram, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender -- about 7 minutes.

3

Add the tomato sauce, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, then add the stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles, cover, and boil for 5 minutes. Add the chicken and salt, reduce the heat to moderate, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through -- 5 to 6 minutes more.
