Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts *chicken thighs can be substituted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or 1/2 teaspoon basil and oregano each
- salt and pepper
- 4 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups sliced zucchini
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken stock, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Heat large skillet with olive oil to medium high heat.
- Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and dried Italian seasoning.
- Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until brown and cooked through. Internal temp should be at 165 degrees.
- Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Add zucchini, tomatoes and garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add wine and lemon juice. Continue to cook for another few minutes until liquid is reduced by half.
- Whisk together chicken stock and flour in a small dish and add to pan. Cook for a minute or two until thickened. (This is a thin sauce so will just be slightly thick.)
- Toss in the spinach and cook until wilted. Add chicken back to the pan and heat through.
- Serve with a side of rice and more fresh steamed veggies if desired!
Notes
*If using bone in chicken, increase cooking time by about 15 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees.
