Cook ziti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet coated with olive oil, or Crisco oil, cook chicken in 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, cook and stir broccoli in remaining oil for 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, tomatoes and
garlic; cook 2 minutes longer. Add the artichokes, salt and oregano; heat through. Combine the flour with broth and wine or additional broth until smooth; stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Add parsley and reserved chicken. Drain ziti; add to chicken mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with cheese.
