Easy Chicken Primavera

A quick and colorful chicken dish loaded with veggies and tossed in a light pesto sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights and great with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes!

Ingredients:​

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1½ lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2¼ cups low-sodium chicken stock (or as needed)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 bunch green onions, sliced diagonally
  • 1 medium zucchini, quartered and sliced
  • 2 tbsp sun-dried tomato pesto
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:​

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, parsley, and basil. Toss the chicken strips in the flour mixture until well coated.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until golden on the outside and cooked through — about 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken stock, frozen mixed vegetables, grape tomatoes, green onions, zucchini, and sun-dried tomato pesto. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Let everything simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes until the veggies are tender and the sauce slightly thickens.
  6. Serve hot over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or spaetzle — whatever you like!
