Chicken Primavera
Ingredients
1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, divided
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 medium yellow squash
1 medium zucchini
1 cup fresh green beans
3 fresh garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 cup matchstick carrots
1 cup pre-diced onions
1 (14.5-oz) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes (undrained)
Steps
- Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season chicken with salt and pepper (wash hands). Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan, then add chicken; cook 2–3 minutes on each side or until browned. While chicken cooks, chop parsley.
- Add parsley, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and wine to chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover; simmer 6–8 minutes or until 165°F.
- Cut squash and zucchini in half lengthwise; then cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Trim ends of beans; cut into 2-inch-long lengths. Chop garlic.
- Remove chicken from pan. Add 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and garlic to pan; cook 1 minute. Stir in remaining ingredients (except tomatoes); cook and stir 5–7 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in tomatoes; cook 4–5 more minutes or until vegetables are tender. Transfer vegetables to serving dish. Slice chicken, arrange over vegetables, and serve with pasta.
