Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Add to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Add mushrooms and zucchini; cook for 5–7 minutes until tender.
- Return chicken to skillet and pour in chicken broth. Simmer for 5 minutes, letting flavors combine.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with crusty bread or over rice.
Notes
- For extra depth of flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-shredded.
- If you prefer a creamier sauce, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of heavy cream before adding the Parmesan.
- Swap zucchini for yellow squash for a colorful twist.
