Lemon Thyme Chicken with Sautéed Zucchini makes a delicious fast and easy dinner.
Yields: 4 Servings
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon lemon zest
1 Tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 pound chicken cutlets
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 medium zucchini, sliced
1 shallot, finely diced
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon white wine
fresh thyme, chopped for garnish
Directions
1Place the lemon zest and thyme in a small bowl; toss. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Sprinkle the lemon-and thyme mixture evenly on both sides of each cutlet. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook the chicken, herb side down, turning after 2 minutes. When the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes, transfer to a cutting board. Cover chicken, and keep warm.
2Sauté the zucchini and the shallot in the same skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and tender, about 4 minutes.
3Put the zucchini and shallots in the bottom of a casserole and top with the chicken. Pour the lemon juice and wine over and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
