Any good recipes for chicken breast and zucchini?!
I'm mainly looking for a different way to serve zucchini!. So far we have had it steamed, with garlic and onion, and with garlic, onion, tomato, and cheese, baked off!. I would prefer a healthy recipe!. Any suggestions!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Stir fry it in olive oil!.Use salt and pepper to season everything!. Chop the zucchini ,onion, sliced fresh garlic sauteed with the onion ( I would stir fry my onion and garlic a couple of minutes before adding the rest of the vegetables)If I was not using fresh garlic at the last few seconds in the pan since it burns easily I would use granulated garlic !. If the chicken is boneless it can be cut into pieces and stir fried and seasoned with the vegetables!. If it is bone in I would cook it separately in the oven wrapped in foil with my favorite seasonings which could be Italian dressing or barbecue sauce or just garlic salt and pepper and Cayenne or hot chili paste!. I would add more chopped vegetables to the stir fry but it is not necessary!. I like chopped bok choy or broccoli and carrots if I was making curry I would add bamboo shoots!. when i stir fry I use enough oil to keep the veggies from sticking I turn up the heat almost to high and I stir them around the whole time to keep them from burning until they are a little bit darker but not soft!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
