Italian Chicken And Vegetable Skillet Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 small zucchini, diced
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, NO sugar added
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
  • Himalayan sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Season the cut up pieces of chicken with salt and pepper and place them in a freezer bag, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes and minced garlic. Massage the mixture into the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes or overnight.

  4. Add in the zucchini, tomatoes and remaining teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Sauté until they start to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Lower the heat to medium and add the chicken back into the skillet along with balsamic vinegar and basil. Stir everything together and taste for seasoning. Serve immediately.
