Instructions

  1. 1. In a bowl, toss the chicken with Italian seasoning, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  2. 2. Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium. Grill or sear the chicken on both sides until cooked throughout, 10 minutes.
  3. 3. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta al dente, according to package directions. Save some pasta cooking water, then drain.
  4. 4. Melt the butter with zucchini, garlic, oregano, and chili flakes in a large pan set over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, until fragrant, then add the cream cheese. Turn the heat to low, and allow the cheese to melt. Whisk in the cream/milk and the parmesan. Season with pepper. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Toss the pasta with the sauce. Stir in the basil/parsley.
