Steps

1Heat the butter and olive oil in a large stovetop skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted.
2Season the chicken breast halves generously with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet and let them cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until they are browned and cooked through.
3Remove the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
4Add the shallots and garlic to the pan and saute, stirring constantly, until they are softened, about 2 minutes.
5Add the zucchini, grape tomatoes, chicken broth, and cream, and continue to cook, stirring, for another 2 minutes, until the liquid starts to boil.
6Stir in the basil and parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese is melted.
7Return the chicken to the pan, and reduce the heat to medium low. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it has thickened a bit.
8Server over hot pasta.
