Prepare the Ingredients

  1. 1

    Chop Vegetables

    Slice the zucchini and yellow squash into thin rounds. Cut the broccolini into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare Mushrooms

    Clean the mixed mushrooms and slice them if they are large.

Cook the Chicken

  1. 3

    Sauté Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

    In a blender, combine sundried tomatoes, garlic, vegetable broth, lime juice, and cilantro. Blend until smooth.

    Cook Fettuccine

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the fettuccine. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.

    Add the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, and broccolini to the simmering sauce. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until tender.
