Stir in garlic, zucchini and broccoli. Add 3/4 cup of the chicken broth,
cover and simmer 3-5 minutes, or until broccoli is crisp-tender.

Combine oregano and cornstarch with remaining 3/4 cup chicken broth and add
to vegetables. Return chicken to pan, add hot red pepper flakes and cook
over brisk heat until slightly thickened and bubbly.

Heat cream in microwave 30 seconds and stir into pan. Season to taste with
salt and pepper and serve immediately over linguine or other pasta.
