Time 32m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 zucchini, cut into spirals using a spiral slicer
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup marinara sauce
cooking spray
4 slices mozzarella cheese
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place zucchini spirals in a colander and sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt and Italian seasoning over zucchini; toss to coat. Set colander over a bowl to allow water from zucchini to drain.
  • Wrap chicken in plastic wrap and place on a work surface; pound into 1/4- to 1/2-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap and season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat marinara sauce in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in the hot skillet until browned and no longer pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Place zucchini in the same nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir until tender yet firm to the bite, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast and top with mozzarella cheese.
  • Broil chicken in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Transfer zucchini to each serving plate and add chicken. Spoon warm marinara over each piece of chicken and top with Parmesan cheese.

CURRIED CHICKEN BREAST WITH ZUCCHINI



Curried Chicken Breast With Zucchini image

Here is an unbelievably easy though super flavorful weeknight dish that's bound to become a household favorite. Just toss boneless chicken breasts (chicken thighs would work here, too) and zucchini with curry powder, olive oil, salt and pepper then brown everything over medium heat in a skillet. Empty the pan, then make a quick sauce of shallots, chicken broth, heavy cream, olive oil and butter. Return the chicken and zucchini to the pot and warm through. That's it. Serve it over rice or couscous, or with a side of mashed potatoes.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 zucchini, about 1/2 pound, ends trimmed
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Put chicken pieces in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of the oil, salt and pepper.
  • Trim off the ends of the zucchini and cut it into 12 rounds, each about 1/2-inch thick. Add zucchini and curry powder to the chicken and blend well with the fingers to coat the pieces evenly.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy skillet and add the chicken pieces in one layer. Scatter the zucchini rounds between the chicken pieces, preferably in one layer. Cook over moderately high heat until chicken pieces are nicely browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken pieces and the zucchini rounds and cook over moderately low heat about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken pieces and zucchini rounds to a warm serving dish.
  • Pour off the fat from the skillet and add the butter. Add shallots and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add broth and cook until reduced to about 1/3 cup. Add cream, stir and bring to a boil. Return chicken and zucchini pieces to the sauce and turn the pieces in the sauce. Cook about 2 minutes.

Sauteed Chicken, Zucchini, Artichokes and Tomatoes over Pasta image

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb chicken, cut into bite size chunks
5 minced garlic cloves
2 small zucchini, cut into chunks (about the same size as the chicken)
1 (6 1/2 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and halved
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained (or you can use a couple of fresh, chopped and seeded)
1 1/2 cups dry white wine (I used Chardonnay)
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt and pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, divided

Steps:

  • In large skillet, heat one TBSP of olive oil over medium-high heat till pan is HOT.
  • Add chicken. While it's searing, sprinkle the chicken with oregano, salt and pepper.
  • When chicken is browned on all sides, remove it from the pan and add another TBSP of olive oil. When oil is heated, saute the zucchini until soft and lightly browned. Remove from pan.
  • Add another tablespoon of olive oil and add the garlic. When the garlic becomes fragrant, deglaze the pan with the white wine. Let this reduce by half.
  • Add the chicken back into the pan. Cook until chicken is almost completely cooked, then add the zucchini and artichokes and tomatoes. Heat through.
  • Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Serve over spaghetti with plenty of parmesan cheese.
