I make this recipe when I am trying to make healthier choices but eat delicious food at the same time. You can eat it as-is - for a light dinner, or serve it with rice or quinoa. Perfect for making more in advance - reheats nicely, and it tastes great cold too!

Preparation of the chicken and vegetables

Step 2

Take a big deep roasting pan for this dish. Preheat some cooking oil. Start with the zucchini - saute them for a few minutes and set them aside in a bowl. Make sure not to overcook them - they should remain their shape! Since they get mushy easily I recommend making the thicker cuts. Season with salt a pepper slightly.

Step 6

Give a quick final whisk to the sauce mixture and add to the pan. Mix gently in order not to mush the vegetables. The sauce should thicken soon. Add a touch more water if it seems too thick, or to adjust to your liking.
