Creamy chicken pasta with zucchini
When you crave something simple and delicious
Chicken pasta recipes with cream sauce are very popular. Here is another delicious one. Are you familiar with that feeling when it’s boiling hot outside and you don’t feel like standing in the kitchen behind the stove, but you want something delicious to eat? Keep it simple and quick. Those were the criteria for this cream sauce. I added chicken and zucchini. At the end, I added a few olives. The result was a heavenly creamy sauce, in which I could enjoy the slightly grilled flavor of the zucchini and chicken and the fresh delicacy of the olives at the same time. Try it yourself!
