2. Saute chicken in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in large, heavy non-stick skillet until no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan.

3. In remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil, saute onions 1-2 minutes, or until translucent. Add garlic, mushrooms, zucchini, fresh tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook 2-3 minutes, or until zucchini is crisp-tender.

4. Stir in basil and chicken broth or water. Heat cream in microwave 30-45 seconds, or until hot to the touch. Stir into vegetable mixture. Add basil and return chicken to pan. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper to taste. Cook until chicken is thoroughly done, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately over linguine. Pass the Parmesan.
