Chicken Vegetable Penne

By McLean

Ingredients

• 1 pound penne pasta
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 medium zucchini, cut into chunks
• 1 (12 oz.) jar chicken gravy
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain and return to the pot.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with the salt, then cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned. Add the zucchini and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Add the gravy; mix well and cook until heated through and no pink remains in the chicken.

Add the chicken mixture, the cherry tomatoes, and cheese to the pasta and toss until well-combined. Serve immediately.

NOTE: Can be served chilled as well as warm.
