Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces Linguine
  • 2 small Zucchini Squash
  • 1 cup Sundried Tomatoes julienned
  • 3 tablespoons Garlic minced
  • 2 cups Cream
  • 2 cups Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese plus more for garnish
  • 1 Kosher Salt and Black Pepper to taste
  • 3 cups Cooked Chicken Breast shredded
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Fresh Chopped Basil to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook linguine in boiling water per the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In the meantime, wash and slice each zucchini lengthwise. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let rest.
  • Allow the salt to sit on the zucchini for 10 minutes. Rinse and pat mostly dry, then cut into roughly 1/2" chunks.
  • Add olive oil to a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat then add the sundried tomatoes and minced garlic.
  • Sautee the tomatoes and garlic for 3 minutes, then add the zucchini. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the zucchini is slightly softened.
  • Add the cream, whisking to combine. Bring it slowly to a low boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the parmesan cheese and whisk to combine.
  • If the sauce seems too thick, thin it out slightly with a bit more cream or chicken stock, a tablespoon at a time.
  • Once the cheese is melted and fully integrated, taste test and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Add the drained linguiine and shredded chicken to the skillet. Toss to combine.
  • Continue cooking until everything is heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve garnished with additional grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Notes

Use whatever cooked chicken you prefer such as shredded rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken or leftover chicken from another meal.
