Creamy Chicken & Zucchini Pasta

If you're a gardener, you know that August brings zucchini.  Much zucchini.  I came up with this recipe because my family was tired of the regulars.  My WHOLE family ate this and loved it. 

Creamy Chicken & Zucchini Pasta

1 lb pasta

1 minced onion

salt & pepper

3 cloves minced garlic

2 Tbsp butter

2 cups chopped zucchini

2 cups cooked & shredded chicken

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

parmesan cheese

Cook pasta according to directions on box/bag.  Meanwhile saute the onion with garlic, butter, salt, & pepper at a low temperature.  Once onions are soft and translucent, add zucchini and chicken.  Stir and cook together for 1 minute.  Add broth, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese then cook on medium for 2-3 minutes.

Drain pasta, stir into zucchini/cream mixture.

I use a rotisserie chicken.  Easy to shred up, and the broth is already in the bottom of the rotisserie container.

Proof that kids love it too!
