Lemon and Herb Chicken and Vegetable Skillet
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 yellow squash, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped thyme, 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place the chicken in the skillet. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Serve the lemon and herb chicken and vegetable skillet hot, and enjoy!
The Chicken and Vegetable Skillet with a zesty lemon and herb marinade is a delightful dish that brings together the flavors of tender chicken and fresh, vibrant vegetables. This dish has a rich history, with roots in Mediterranean cuisine, where the use of lemon and herbs is a common practice. Renowned chefs like Jamie Oliver and Ina Garten have popularized this recipe, infusing it with their own unique twists and techniques. The best version of this dish can be found in the coastal regions of Italy, where the abundance of fresh herbs and citrus fruits elevates the flavors to new heights. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the marinade, where the combination of lemon, garlic, and herbs infuses the chicken with a burst of tangy and aromatic flavors. For a unique twist, consider grilling the chicken and vegetables on skewers for a delightful summer barbecue alternative.
