Cooking Steps
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat until hot. Add sliced zucchini, sprinkle with salt, and cook for about 5 minutes, flipping once, until the zucchini is soft and slightly browned. Remove zucchini from the skillet.
- To the same skillet, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sliced chicken breast. Sprinkle with salt and cook on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, flipping a couple of times, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and stir in ¼ cup of basil pesto with the chicken slices.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil, add spaghetti, and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain pasta.
- Add cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Add red and yellow cherry tomatoes. Add back cooked zucchini. Add another ¼ cup of basil pesto, stir everything together, and reheat gently on low-medium heat. Taste and adjust with extra basil pesto and salt if needed. Remove from heat. Sprinkle ⅓ cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta.
- When serving, sprinkle each individual serving plate with extra Parmesan, if desired.
