PIN TO SAVE PRINT RECIPE Meal plan

Ingredients you need for the Asado Chicken Breast with Sauteed Lemon Zucchini

3 lbs (1 1/2 kg) Chicken breast 2 to 3 medium-sized zucchini, diced 8 Garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons Oregano 1 tablespoon smoked Paprika 2 teaspoons Cumin Powder 1/4 cup (60ml) chicken stock 1/4 cup (60ml) lemon juice, more for serving 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder 1/2 teaspoon Chili Flakes 1/4 cup (60ml) Olive Oil Salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Directions

1. To make this Asado chicken breast recipe: In a bowl, combine paprika, cumin, chicken stock, lemon juice, onion powder, oregano, garlic, chili flakes, and olive oil. Taste and adjust salt and lemon before adding chicken breast.

2. Add in chicken breasts and coat all sides. Cover and marinate chicken breasts for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, remove chicken breasts from marinade and reserve the marinade for later.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook chicken breast on both sides, until internal temperature reads 165ºF (74ºC) on an instant-read thermometer, approx. 15 minutes. Remove chicken breast to a plate and keep warm.

4. Add the diced zucchini to the same pan and season with salt, pepper and red chili pepper flakes (if using), add a bit of oil if necessary. Saute zucchini for 2-3 minutes over medium-low, then add the remaining chicken marinade. Cook zucchini with the marinade sauce for 3-4 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the sauce has reduced a bit and zucchini are tender.

5. Divide sauteed zucchini and the sauce into plates or bowls and top with sliced chicken breasts. Serve the chicken and sauteed zucchini garnished with lemon slices, and fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy! An extra splash of lemon juice before serving the Asado chicken is highly recommended. Enjoy!

Tips for making a meal with one skillet

Each recipe is different, but here are a few tips on how to cook with just one skillet:

• Choose your ingredients wisely and make sure they are compatible with one skillet cooking. Stick to proteins, vegetables, grains, and seasonings that cook quickly and at the same temperature.
• Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat before adding any ingredients.
• Start by cooking more time-intensive ingredients first, such as proteins or root vegetables.
• Use a little oil to help keep ingredients from sticking and to help them develop a nice color when cooking.
• Add vegetables that are quick-cooking or already cooked and simply need to be warmed up.
• Add a little liquid, such as broth, wine, or tomato sauce, to help the ingredients cook evenly and to add flavor. If there are some brown bit to the bottom of the skillet, that how you deglaze them, plus it adds flavor!
• Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary before serving. Serve hot and enjoy you one-skillet meal!
