Winner Winner 20 Minute Chicken Dinner

Disclaimer, I did prep the vegetables this morning before work. The recipe is from the Eating Well site. It received 2 thumbs up from the other side of the table.

  1. Ingredients-

    1 pound chicken cutlets
    1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
    1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
    1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1/3 cup dry white wine
    1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
    2 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
    1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
    Sprinkle chicken with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

    Method-

    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F.

    Transfer to a plate.
    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, zucchini, and onion to the pan.

    Cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add wine.

    Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes.

    Add tomatoes, cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

    Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring to melt the cream cheese, for 5 minutes.

    Return the chicken to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce.

    Serve topped with basil.
