    Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.

    While the oil is heating, cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

    Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pan and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

    While the chicken is cooking, finely chop the garlic, onion, bell pepper, and zucchini.

How to be creative
  • Add a splash of white wine after cooking the chicken for extra flavor.
  • Incorporate seasonal vegetables like asparagus or cherry tomatoes for variety.
  • Serve with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of rice or quinoa.
Important Tips
  • To enhance the flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and thyme for a couple of hours before cooking.
  • Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the chicken so it sears properly.
  • Keep your vegetables chopped uniformly to ensure even cooking.
