Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Chop garlic, onion, zucchini and broccoli. Set aside.
  2. Fill pot with water for pasta and bring to boil.
  3. While waiting for the water to boil, prepare the pan for the chicken tenders. Place flour, panko crumbs and egg in three separate bowls. Whisk egg until smooth. Dredge each chicken tender in flour, shake excess, then dip it in the egg, followed by the panko. Press the panko into the tender so it holds. Melt 2 T butter in large frying pan and add garlic. Cook for 1 minute and then add the chicken tenders. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side until no longer pink in the center. Remove chicken tenders to a plate and set aside. Scrape pan and set aside.
  4. Cook the pasta, adding the broccoli 3 minutes before it is done. Drain the pasta and place in serving bowl.
  5. While the pasta is cooking, melt 2 T of butter (or olive oil) in the pan used for the chicken tenders. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the zucchini and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken base and mix until incorporated into the veggies. Add the chicken broth and bring to boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes until zucchini is cooked. While the zucchini is cooking, make a slurry by adding the 1 T of cornstarch to a small bowl and mixing in the 1/4 cup of milk. When zucchini is ready, stir in the slurry and keep stirring as the sauce thickens. Cook, stirring frequently, until desired thickness is reached.
  6. Add the chicken tenders to the pasta and then pour sauce over top.
