Chicken Zucchini Pasta Skillet
This quick and easy weeknight dinner is full of plump chicken sausages, zucchini, tomatoes and tender pasta! Ready in about 20 minutes!
Equipment
- large skillet
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 12 oz Italian Style Chicken Sausages, cut into discs
- 1 cup onion, diced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 8 oz uncooked Radiatore pasta, or any other small pasta shape
- 2 cups zucchini, chopped
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated, divided
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- ⅓ cup fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in the olive oil. Once hot, add in the chicken sausages and onion and cook until sausages are browned and onion is tender.
- Season with salt, red pepper flakes and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring mixture to a boil then add in the uncooked pasta. Stir frequently, for about 10 minutes, until pasta is mostly tender, then add in the chopped zucchini.
- Continue cooking an additional 3 minutes until zucchini is tender and most of the chicken broth is absorbed into the pasta. Stir in the lemon juice, 3 tablespoon of the parmesan cheese and the grape tomatoes.
- Remove from heat and top with the fresh basil and remaining 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
