# What You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1.1 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
02 -
7 ounces fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
03 -
1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
→ Aromatics & Seasonings
04 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
05 -
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
06 -
2 garlic cloves, minced
07 -
Salt, to taste
08 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
Cut the chicken breast into uniform 3/4-inch cubes. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Slice the zucchini into half-moons. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Set all ingredients aside for easy access during cooking.
02 -
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until translucent and lightly golden. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
03 -
Add the cubed chicken breast to the pan. Cook, stirring regularly, for 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken pieces are golden on the outside and cooked through with no visible pink inside.
04 -
Incorporate the sliced mushrooms and zucchini. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and the zucchini remains slightly crisp.
05 -
Season the mixture generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, add a handful of chopped fresh parsley or a pinch of dried Italian herbs during the last few minutes of cooking.
02 -
Ensure even chopping so vegetables and chicken cook at the same rate, resulting in uniform texture.
