Chicken Zucchini Pasta

Chicken zucchini pasta in a bowl with a fork.

Once upon a time, I went to my parent’s house to be “helpful” while they were out of town.

Then the story took a turn.

It became me trying to survive and keep everyone fed and alive.

When you combine three teenagers with two seriously adorable/naughty dogs with one unbelievably active 9 year old… well, they deserve a round of applause. My parents.

So how my mom manages to host a birthday lunch and serve such delicious home cooked food (while controlling the aforementioned scenario) is beyond me.

But I like to try to be helpful. And I am usually really helpful at partaking in the home cooked food part.

This chicken zucchini pasta recipe is one that my mom always makes for family gatherings, and it deserves a round of applause from those who make it and those who cook it. It’s a perfectly kinda fancy low maintenance meal that makes me happy happy happy every time I eat it. Mostly I’m just happy that I don’t have her job because I would probably die. She’s amazing.
