Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Peel and mince garlic.
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with half the Italian Seasoning (you’ll use more later), salt, and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly!
Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out pan.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes (7-10 minutes for 4 servings).
Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
Reduce heat to medium low; stir in yogurt, remaining Italian Seasoning, ¼ cup water, and 1 TBSP butter (½ cup water and 2 TBSP butter for 4 servings). Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened, 2-4 minutes.
Grate Parmesan directly into pan; cook, stirring constantly, until melted and combined, 1-2 minutes more.
Stir spinach into pan with zucchini mixture. Cook, stirring, until wilted, 3-4 minutes.
Meanwhile, gently massage grain blend in package to break up grains. Partially open package; microwave until warmed through, 1½-2 minutes.
Transfer grain blend to a medium bowl. Fluff grains with a fork; season with salt and pepper.
Slice chicken crosswise.
Divide grain blend between shallow bowls; top with chicken. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Precooked grains were certainly a time saver but they came out dry and bland. The zucchini and spinach didn't end up saucy, just clumpy and goopy. Tasted good though. And pan sauté of salmon had good flavor with crispy skin.
Sauce didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped. Needs a little more flavor. Good though.
Yogurt sauce was too little and evaporated immediately. Other flavors were great though.
Easy and simple to cook but didn't have much flavor.
