In another skillet, stir-fry the remaining garlic and onions in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until translucent. Add zucchini, oregano, salt and pepper. Saute until desired tenderness. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Add chicken to skillet and cook until done. Return veggies to skillet. Add cooked pasta mixture, cheeses and parsley. Toss until mixed through. Turn into baking dish.

Toast bread crumbs then combine with parmesan cheese. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over the dish and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Broil for 3-5 minutes until browned on top.
