1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.
Peel and thinly slice garlic. Trim and quarter zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick pieces. Zest and quarter lemon. Finely chop parsley.
2
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, 1 minute. TIP: Keep a close eye on the garlic to avoid burning. Remove from heat as soon as it turns a pale golden color.Turn off heat; using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe out pan.
3
Once water is boiling, add penne to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain and set aside.While pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for garlic over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and cook, stirring, until tender and lightly golden, 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.Transfer to a plate.
4
While zucchini cooks, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid; season with salt and pepper.Once zucchini is done, heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.Reduce heat to medium.
5
Stir in cream sauce base, ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings), and a big squeeze of lemon juice; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, stir in another splash or two of pasta cooking water.
6
Add drained penne, toasted garlic, zucchini, half the Parmesan, half the parsley, half the lemon zest (use all the zest if desired), and 2 TBSP butter (3 TBSP for 4 servings) to pan with sauce.
