CHEESY ZUCCHINI AND CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• I usually have the chicken already cooked, but if you don't, cook three breasts of chicken. Put water on for the pasta (again, if you don't already have this in the freezer).
• While those two things are cooking, put the oil in a large skillet, shred the carrots and zucchini. Toss them along with the garlic into the pan and saute.
• By the time the carrots and zucchini are done, your pasta and chicken should be done as well.
• Toss it all together in the skillet along with the sour cream, mozzarella, parmesan, and romano cheeses. Let it sit for a few minutes to let the cheese melt and serve!

SAUTEED CHICKEN, ZUCCHINI, ARTICHOKES AND TOMATOES OVER PASTA

Steps:

• In large skillet, heat one TBSP of olive oil over medium-high heat till pan is HOT.
• Add chicken. While it's searing, sprinkle the chicken with oregano, salt and pepper.
• When chicken is browned on all sides, remove it from the pan and add another TBSP of olive oil. When oil is heated, saute the zucchini until soft and lightly browned. Remove from pan.
• Add another tablespoon of olive oil and add the garlic. When the garlic becomes fragrant, deglaze the pan with the white wine. Let this reduce by half.
• Add the chicken back into the pan. Cook until chicken is almost completely cooked, then add the zucchini and artichokes and tomatoes. Heat through.
• Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Serve over spaghetti with plenty of parmesan cheese.
