Bababombomb Chicken

So the title of this post isn't really a word (ba-ba-bombomb). Just fyi.

My aunt (from TAMPA) and my mom came and visited on Thursday ... which is why I was not present in class ... I know you noticed ... anyway. I chose to make them dinner. Over the past couple of recipes I was introduced to canned tomatoes ... I wanted to use them again. So I found this recipe and made it my own.

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • as much or as little chopped garlic as you'd like
  • 1 3/4 cups of canned tomatoes (MAKE SURE YOU DRAIN THEM!)
  • 2 teaspoons of nutmeg
  • shake some basil in there
  • 6 teaspoons honey
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 4 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (about 4 cup)
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions:

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook until it starts to soften, about 1 minute.
  2. Stir in tomatoes, nutmeg, basil, teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  3. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated but is still somewhat saucy, 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Stir in honey; add chicken and zucchini. Return to a simmer and cover. Cook, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes.
  5. Serve over couscous, with potatoes ( I used instant haha) or rice!
