Tuscan Chicken

Step 1

Season the 1.5 lb chicken breasts with the 1 tsp salt and black pepper. Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; it will finish cooking later.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 sliced zucchini, cook until zucchini is tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the 1 cup cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to burst, about 3 minutes. Pour in the 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

Step 5

Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, and simmer until chicken is cooked through (165°F), about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Sprinkle the 0.5 cup mozzarella over the top, cover, and let melt for 2 minutes. Serve hot over cooked rice.
