Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the ingredients: thinly slice the zucchini, mince the garlic, dice the onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 5

Stir in the zucchini slices and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and the tomatoes release their juices.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 7

Drizzle lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Chicken Zucchini Ol'!
