In the meantime, remove chicken from the refrigerator. Uncover the baking dish and transfer it to the oven. bake for about 15 minutes until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
When the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Drain the fettucini and return it to the pot. Stir in the chicken stock and keep the mixture warm over the lowest heat setting.
Pour the cooking juices from the chicken into a saute pan. Add the squash, bell pepper, leek, broccoli, and mushrooms. Saute for about 3 minutes, just until the vegetables begin to wilt.
