How to make One-Pot Chicken & Zucchini Pasta
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb chicken breast pieces and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Add the 1 medium chopped yellow onion to the same pot and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Add the 2 medium zucchini half-moons to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- Pour in 4 cups chicken broth and the 14.5 oz can of undrained diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Stir in the 12 oz penne or rotini and 1 tsp dried oregano. Ensure the pasta is mostly submerged in the liquid. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Stir in the 2 cups fresh spinach until it wilts, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately, garnished with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley.
