Lemon Herb Chicken with Zucchini and Squash

Ingredients:

1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-size pieces

2 Tbsp olive oil, divided

2 Tbsp butter, divided (or more olive oil)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 tsp Italian seasoning, divided

1 tsp garlic powder, divided

1/2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp lemon zest, plus more for serving

10 oz. (2 small) zucchini, sliced and halved if wider

10 oz. (2 small) yellow squash, sliced and halved if wider

1/3 cup finely shredded parmesan, or more to taste

2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, 2 tsp Italian

seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon zest. Add to the skillet along with butter and cook for about 3

minutes on each side until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 Tbsp oil and butter. Toss in zucchini and squash seasoned with salt, 1 tsp Italian

seasoning, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Cook for about 4 minutes until just tender.

Return chicken to the skillet with vegetables. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss. Garnish with parmesan and parsley and serve

with extra lemon zest if desired.
