Instructions
- About 2 to 3 hours before serving, place chicken in marinade in the fridge.
- 30 minutes before serving: In a large skillet, over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic in oil. Add the diced tomatoes, squash, chicken broth, chicken bullion, and salt and pepper. If using, stir in heavy cream and a little parmesan cheese once the chicken broth is bubbling. While that is cooking, boil pasta according to package directions.
- Grill chicken over medium heat. When fully cooked, slice into long strips.
- When the squash is fully cooked, remove the fry pan from heat and toss in the fresh basil. Layer each bowl with noodles, a scoop of the primavera sauce, sliced grilled chicken, and top with the parmesan cheese.
Notes
- If you are able to use garden tomatoes and/or squash, do it! The summer flavor of garden fresh tomatoes can't be beat.

- I love using fresh herbs from my garden, but you can find beautiful summer herbs in the grocery store in the produce section. Fresh is definitely best in this recipe.

- We love grilling our chicken on the outdoor grill, but you can certainly cook it on grill pan inside or even in bake in the oven.
