About this recipe
Chicken with zucchini and tomatoes is a quick skillet dinner served with couscous. Brown the chicken first, then add the zucchini and tomatoes so the chicken retains its texture while the vegetables form a light sauce. Zucchini adds tenderness, tomatoes bring juiciness, and couscous readily absorbs the pan juices. It is a good everyday dinner when you want a warm meal without a long cooking time.
Ingredients
Servings: 3
300 g chicken breast
1 zucchini
2 tomatoes
120 g couscous
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Steps
Prepare the couscous according to the instructions and let it stand for 5 minutes so it is ready at the same time as the meat.
Cut the chicken into large cubes and brown it in the olive oil before adding the zucchini and tomatoes, which will quickly release their juices.
Add the zucchini and tomatoes and cook for another 4–5 minutes, until the zucchini softens but retains its shape.
Finally, add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, then cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the tomatoes release some juice and the chicken is fully cooked in the center.
Serve immediately with the couscous, while the chicken is juicy and the vegetables still retain some texture.
