Toss this summery chicken mixture with hot cooked penne and a bit of extra-virgin olive oil, or spoon it over a bed of rice.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (500 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 green or yellow zucchini
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) walnut halves
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) fresh mint leaf
- Salt, pepper and extra-virgin olive oil
Preparation
Cut chicken into 3/4-inch (2 cm) chunks; sprinkle with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper. Halve zucchini lengthwise; cut into 3/4-inch (2 cm) pieces.
In nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry chicken until browned and no longer pink inside, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to plate.
Wipe out skillet; heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil over medium-high heat. Fry zucchini, garlic, walnuts and pinch each salt and pepper until zucchini is light golden and tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Stir in mint and return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet; stir-fry until hot, about 1 minute.
