This Parmesan Zucchini Tomato Chicken Spaghetti recipe is a delicious midweek meal that you can have on the table in under 25 minutes. It combines chicken with one of my favorite herbs (basil in the pesto) and zucchini and tomatoes. Can you think of a dish which screams summer more?
To make Parmesan Zucchini Tomato Chicken Spaghetti, you will need the following ingredients:
Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add 1 sliced zucchini and sprinkle with a little salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes, flipping once halfway through. When the zucchini is tender and lightly browned, remove it from the skillet.
Place one teaspoon of olive oil and sliced chicken breast in the same skillet. Season with salt and cook for about 5-7 minutes on medium heat, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the skillet from the heat, and combine ¼ cup of basil pesto with the cooked chicken slices.
Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan with 1 tablespoon of salt. Cook 8 ounces of spaghetti until al dente according to the package instructions.
Drain the spaghetti and add to the skillet with the chicken.
Add 1 cup each of halved red and yellow cherry tomatoes. Add another ¼ cup of basil pesto. Stir the ingredients together, and gently reheat over low-medium heat.
Taste the pasta and add extra pesto and salt, if needed. Remove the pan from heat.
Scatter ⅓ cup of shredded Parmesan cheese over the cooked pasta in the skillet.
Serve individual plates with extra Parmesan.
