Ingredients

  • • 1 lb Foster Farms Free Range Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets
  • • 1 Medium Zucchini, Trimmed
  • • 4 oz Gettuccine, Uncooked
  • • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • • 2 Cups Fresh Broccoli Florets
  • • 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • • 1 Sweet Pepper, Cut into Strips
  • • 1 Medium Yellow Summer Squash, Halved Lengthwise and Sliced into Half-moon Shapes
  • • ½ Cup Fresh Pea Pods
  • • ¼ Cup Dry White Wine or Chicken Broth
  • • ½ Cup Finely Shredded Parmesan Cheese, Divided
  • • 2 tsp Snipped Fresh Thyme
  • • ¾ tsp Salt
  • • ¼ tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
  • • Fresh Thyme Leaves

Directions

1

Using a spiral vegetable slicer, cut zucchini into long strands. (You should end up with about 3 cups of lightly packed strands.) Set aside.

2

Cook fettucine for 2 minutes less than the time advised on the package directions, reserving ¼ cup salted pasta water. Set aside.

3

Meanwhile, in a 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Stir in the diced chicken breasts, cook to an internal temperature of at least 165°F. Over medium-high heat, stir the broccoli, and garlic for about 4 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Stir in sweet pepper, yellow squash, and pea pods. Cook 2 minutes more.

4

Add zucchini strands, cooked fettuccine, wine or broth, ¼ cup of the cheese, and 2 teaspoons thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook and toss mixture with tongs for 2 to 3 minutes or until it is heated through and chicken is done. If necessary, add reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is the desired consistency.

5

Plate and sprinkle each serving with the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese and additional fresh thyme.
