Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts Perfectly juicy when seasoned with herbs.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes For a burst of sweet flavor; swap for grape tomatoes if unavailable.
  • 1 piece zucchini Slice it thin for quick cooking; try yellow squash for a fun twist.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil Essential for sautéing; feel free to use avocado oil for a healthier option.
  • Salt and pepper To taste, of course!
  • Fresh basil or parsley For garnish, adding a touch of color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
Cooking
  1. Add the chicken breasts to the pan; cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and zucchini slices. Stir-fry together for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Serving
  1. Plate the chicken alongside the sautéed vegetables, and sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color.

Notes

Tips: Allow chicken to properly sear for extra flavor. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; chicken should reach 165°F internally. Pre-chop your veggies to save time during cooking.
