Instructions
- Bring a pot of water with a touch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil to a boil. Once boiling, add pasta and cook for 9-11 minutes. Be sure to stir more than once while cooking to prevent sticking. Once cooked, drain pasta but reserve 1 cup of pasta water and set aside.
- While water is boiling, trim ends off zucchini and cut length wise down the center. Then cut each half into 1/2 inch slices. Trim any fat off chicken and cut each breast into bite size pieces.
- In a large frying pan heat a drizzle of olive oil and add chicken pieces. Cook stirring regularly for 5-7 minutes. Then add minced garlic, lemon pepper seasoning and zucchini pieces. Cook for another 4-6 minutes until chicken pieces are cooked through and zucchini is browned and softened. Set aside.
- Set aside pasta once it is finished cooking and add reserved pasta water to pot used to cook the spaghetti. Cook on medium heat and add chicken stock and lemon juice. If you have a fresh lemon, add some lemon zest too! Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes Remove from heat.
- Add 1 tbsp of butter, 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese and 4 tbsp of sour cream to the sauce. Stir until melted and combined.
- Combine sauce, pasta, chicken and zucchini mixture in one bowl or pot. Mix thoroughly and serve! Serve with additional shredded Parmesan cheese on top and with a lemon wedge or fresh parsley!
