Ingredients

Ingredients for 5 servings:

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lb chicken breast, cut into large pieces
    • Substitute: tofu or tempeh, cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 yellow squash, cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini, cut into chunks
  • 24oz canned crushed tomatoes, no salt added

  • sea salt & pepper to taste
  •  Garnish
    • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped (or to taste)
    • 1/2 cup grated parmesan

Steps

Step 1

Chop chicken into large chunks. Season with pinches of sea salt & pepper.

Step 2

Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat and add olive oil and chicken breast pieces. Sear on both sides for 3 to 5 minutes, no worries if the chicken is not fully cooked. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

Add olive oil to the skillet, then add garlic and red onion. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes and be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Then add the chopped vegetables and sauté for about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the crushed tomatoes and chicken stock. Bring to a light simmer, then season to taste with sea salt & pepper.

Step 6

Nestle the chicken breast pieces in the sauce, then cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the vegetables are soft, yet still somewhat firm.

Step 7

Garnish and enjoy!
