I've made this healthy & yummy dish a few times recently and it is always a hit!
I got it out of Health magazine, I love it because it is naturally gluten free, no substitutions needed!
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp lemon zest (I usually juice the lemon too and use the juice for some extra zing)
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 lb chicken breasts cut into cutlets
- salt
- pepper (fresh ground is best)
- olive oil
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced
- 2 medium yellow summer squash, sliced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth (make sure it is gluten free)
- quinoa
Directions:
- Mix lemon zest, lemon juice, and thyme in medium sized bowl
- Sprinkle a little salt & pepper on the chicken, then coat in the lemon & thyme mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large non stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until it is golden and cooked through (a few minutes on each side, depending on thickness). I usually pour any leftover lemon & thyme mixture in the skillet as well.
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside (to keep warm I usually set my toaster oven to warm and put the chicken on a plate in there).
- Using the same skillet saute the zucchini and squash ver medium heat. I usually add a little extra olive oil. After the veggies are golden & tender (about 5 minutes) stir in the chicken broth.
- Add the chicken back in and let simmer another minute or two.
- I usually serve this over quinoa which I make in my rice cooker.
- Garnish with fresh thyme if you want to feel a bit fancy:)
- Enjoy!
