Description

A comforting one-pan meal featuring tender chicken in a creamy garlic herb sauce, served with sautéed zucchini, bell peppers, and fluffy rice.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add zucchini and bell peppers. Sauté until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Reduce heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and stir in oregano and thyme. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over it. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve over cooked rice, garnished with fresh parsley.
