In the same skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and cook the green onions until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the zucchini slices and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and stir to mix. Return the chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with the flour. Stir in the cream and cook until the sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
