Zucchini Chicken

This is one of my go-to meals any time of year! I don’t remember where I got the recipe.

Zucchini Chicken

Ingredients:
1 8 oz. package uncooked pasta shells
1 tsp olive oil
½ onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 zucchini, chopped
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
¾ cup chicken broth
½ cup chopped cooked chicken
1 oz. roasted red peppers, diced
2 Tbsp light cream cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place pasta shells in the pot, cook for 8 to 10 minutes (until al dente), and drain.

2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic until tender. Add zucchini and season with oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes.

3. Stir the chicken broth into the skillet, and cook 5 minutes, until heated through. Add cooked chicken, roasted red peppers, and cream cheese, and continue cooking for 5 minutes.

4. Serve over the pasta, and top with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese. Serves 2 – 4.
