Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta uncooked
- 2 chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 dashes Italian seasoning
- 1 small zucchini chopped finely
- 1 Roma tomato chopped finely
- 1/2 red bell pepper chopped finely
- 1/2 cup peas frozen
- 1/2 cup heavy cream aka whipping cream
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- Parmesan Cheese optional, to taste, freshly grated
Instructions
- Boil a large, salted pot of water for the pasta.
- Meanwhile, prep your chicken, zucchini, tomato, and red pepper.
- Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
- Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, zucchini, tomato, red pepper, and peas to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the cream and add the chicken back in. Cook for a few more minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are further softened.
- Season with salt & pepper as needed and toss with the drained pasta. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- Be sure to salt this recipe well - it makes a big difference in taste. I am also fairly generous with the pepper.
- This pasta does not have a thick sauce. It's a light cream sauce that goes nicely with the veggies.
