This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 small zucchini, cut into thin strips |
1 small leek (white and pale green parts only), cut into thin strips |
4 2-inch-long pieces celery, cut into thin strips |
1/2 medium carrot, cut into thin strips |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
12 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved |
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth |
8 large fresh basil leaves, sliced |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and half of thyme. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Add zucchini, leek, celery, carrot, garlic and remaining thyme. Sauté until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes. Return chicken to skillet, nestling chicken among vegetables. Pour in broth; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter. Add basil and boil until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; spoon sauce over chicken.
