2 tbsp olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups cooked pasta (penne or fusilli)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
-
1 zucchini, sliced
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)

Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste

Combine Everything: Toss the sliced chicken, pasta, and sautéed veggies together. Add a sprinkle of Parmesan, if desired.
