For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken marinade. If you don't have fresh parsley on hand, dried Italian seasoning can be used as a substitute. Adjust the amount to your liking. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for added nutrients and texture. To prevent the garlic from burning, add it to the skillet after the chicken has started to brown.

Follow The Directions
01

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. (5 minutes)

Step

Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown on all sides, cooked through, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean plate and set aside. (6-8 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Return the skillet to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the pre-sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender-crisp and starting to brown around the edges. (5 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet with the zucchini. Toss gently to combine and heat through, allowing the flavors to meld. (2-3 minutes)
