Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet.
  3. Sear the chicken until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  4. Add the sliced zucchini and minced garlic to the skillet.
  5. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still crisp.
  6. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Notes

For a spicier version, incorporate crushed red pepper flakes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
