Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions, slightly al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let them cook for a few minutes on one side before flipping. They should be nicely browned. Continue stirring until the chicken pieces are completely cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the skillet and add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the frozen peas, chopped asparagus and zucchini. Sprinkle with the Italian seasoning and some more salt and pepper. Saute for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add in the Boursin cheese and parmesan. Stir until melted.
- Add the cooked chicken back to the pan along with the cooked pasta and gently stir to combine everything.
- The sauce will thicken as you stir / as it sits over the next few minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with more parmesan and parsley on top and enjoy!
