The first step to preparing Chicken and Zucchini Skillet Dinner was to cut up some chicken breasts into bite size pieces.

Then I sliced up 3 small zucchini, one large yellow onion and a green pepper.  I also sliced up some baby carrots.

Once the vegetables were ready I poured some olive oil into a large skillet over medium heat and added in some dried basil and parsley.  I also dropped in a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Once the oil was heated I partially cooked the chicken pieces (about 2-3 minutes) before dumping in all the vegetables except the sliced zucchini.

I cooked the vegetables and the chicken, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables were starting to soften. About 5 minutes.

Next I added in some diced tomatoes and some pasta sauce.

After stirring in the tomatoes and pasta sauce I added in the sliced zucchini.

After quickly stirring in the sliced zucchini I put the lid on the skillet and reduced the heat slightly.

I continued cooking and occasionally stirring the vegetables until the zucchini had a slightly glazed look.  About 8 – 10 minutes.

Chicken and Zucchini Skillet Dinner is a wonderful combination of flavours and colours that will be a great addition to your main meal repertoire.

Serve it up on its own or….
