Before you start Dice the chicken and zucchini (5 minutes) on Sunday night to speed up Monday's dinner prep.

Cooking instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in diced zucchini, chicken broth, and pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and most liquid is absorbed.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in the juice of half the lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve immediately, topped with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice from the remaining lemon half and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.
