Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add 1 clove garlic and cook 30 seconds.
Add the zucchini, cover and cook until tender, stirring, about 6 minutes.

Add the evaporated milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the cheese; stir to melt, 1 minute.
Cut the chicken into strips. Toss with the pasta, sauce, zucchini and parsley, adding the reserved pasta water to loosen.
