🛒 Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 medium zucchini, diced

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and quartered

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)

• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning

• ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted

• Salt and pepper to taste

🍲 How to make it:

1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.

4. In the same pan, add garlic and cook for about a minute.

5. Add zucchini and red bell peppers. Cook 3–4 minutes until slightly tender.

6. Pour in chicken broth and sprinkle in the rest of the seasoning.

7. Return chicken to the pan and nestle it into the veggie mix.

8. Cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally.

9. Add cherry tomatoes, artichokes, and olives. Cook uncovered for 5 more minutes to blend all the magic.

💡 Pro Tip:

Finish with fresh thyme or basil and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for that restaurant-level finish.

Want more sauce? Add a splash of white wine or extra broth before simmering.
