Fill the saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt.
Cook the pasta
Drop the pasta into the boiling water and let it cook for 8 to 10 min, depending on the kind. Drain in the colander.
Cut the chicken
On the cutting board, cut the chicken breast into small 1.5 cm cubes.
Brown the chicken
In the hot skillet with the oil, brown the chicken cubes over medium heat for 5 min without stirring too much.
Tip · Don't stir the chicken too soon. Let it brown well so it doesn't release its juices.
Add the zucchini
Wash the zucchini and dice it without peeling. Add it to the chicken and cook for 3 min over medium heat.
Toss with the pasta
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the chicken and zucchini. Add the crème fraîche and mix well.
Tip · If the crème fraîche is too thick, add 2 tbsp of pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Season
Taste and add a pinch of salt and pepper if needed. Let it warm for 1 min over low heat.
