Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 8 oz pasta of your choice; 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced; 2 tbsp olive oil; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 small onion, diced; 2 medium summer squash, sliced into half-moons; 1 red bell pepper, sliced; 1 tsp dried thyme; Salt and pepper to taste; Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish; Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sliced summer squash and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle dried thyme over the mixture and stir to combine. Allow the flavors to meld together for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together gently until well combined. If the pasta seems dry, you can add a splash of chicken broth or pasta water to loosen it up.
Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the Summer Squash Chicken and Pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
