CHICKEN AND PASTA WITH SUMMER VEGETABLES
We all loved this light chicken pasta that's filled with zucchini and summer squash. We opted to grill the chicken on an indoor grill to make it easier to prepare. The lemon broth sauce is so easy and tastes refreshing. It's a lighter sauce and perfect for a summer dinner. We can't wait to make this again. A great meal to add to...
