Ingredients

• ▢ 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
• ▢ 1/4 tsp salt
• ▢ 1/4 tsp pepper
• ▢ 2 tsp olive oil
• ▢ 1 large Zucchini Squash
• ▢ 10 baby carrots or 2 large carrots
• ▢ 1 tsp dried minced garlic
• ▢ 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
• ▢ 1 tbsp dried oregano

Instructions

• ▢
  Begin by chopping vegetables. Dice zucchini and slice carrots. Using kitchen shears cut anything unwanted off chicken. Cut breast in half lengthwise and cut in half again to make a thinner serving of chicken.

  Add zucchini, carrots and minced garlic to the heated skillet. Stir often and cook for about 8 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and oregano.
• ▢
  Add chicken back to the skillet, pressing on it lightly to cover it in the sauce. Turn heat to low and add a lid. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes and double check internal temperature is 160F.
• ▢
  Remove from heat and serve chicken with vegetables.
