Chicken With Zucchini and Pesto Over Angel Hair Pasta image

This is a delicious dinner recipe your family is going to love. The stir-fry of Italian seasoned vegetables and chicken tastes fresh and flavorful with the angel hair pasta. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese starts to melt over the pasta - kind of tastes like a softly salted sprinkle. Simply delightful!

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a hit. It's easy to make and the ingredients are readily available. The pesto sauce is especially good and I've started using it on other dishes as well.
