Zucchini Chicken Skillet Dinner
Zucchini Chicken Skillet Dinner combines browned chicken, tender zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, and herbs in one easy pan.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, cubed
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry, season it with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning, then heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet.
- Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked almost completely through.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate, add the remaining oil to the skillet, and cook the zucchini for 4–5 minutes until lightly golden.
- Add cherry tomatoes and garlic, then cook for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and release a little juice.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, sprinkle in the remaining Italian seasoning, and toss everything together over medium heat.
- Drizzle with lemon juice and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the flavors have combined.
- Finish with fresh parsley and serve directly from the skillet with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread if desired.
