Experience a burst of Italian flavor with this delightful dish that pairs juicy chicken with tender zucchini in a garlic sauce that's irresistible.

1

Start by chopping the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season them with salt and black pepper. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.

Next, wash the zucchini and slice them into half-moons, around 1/4 inch thick.

3

In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the garlic cloves (smashed or minced) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Now, add the sliced zucchini to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.

Make sure to stir occasionally to make sure everything is well mixed and evenly cooked.

Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
