Both salads and pasta are great alternatives when you want to make something quick. Both admit different combinations of ingredients as an accompaniment, being able to take advantage of those that are about to spoil in our pantry or refrigerator. This is how this dish of noodles with chicken and zucchini.
Some chicken breasts here, half a zucchini there ... the idea was to create a recipe that contained both ingredients. I could have combined them with rice, with some green sprouts or any other type of pasta, but I decided to use noodles. Do you dare to try it?
