Lemon Pasta with Chicken, Courgette and Sunflower Seeds

Fresh and Filling

This recipe was super easyto make, most of my food does involve quite a bit of chopping because I love vegetables but all of the preparation if worth it in the end.  To some people this dish may seem very simple, but the best thing is you can add as many vegetables as you like.  I decided to keep it light as it is very filling, also I added paremsan and all purpose seasoning to give it a little something something.
