4 servings
Servings4
1 red bell pepper
1 zucchini
1 yellow squash
1/2 red onion
1.3 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 Tbsp cooking oil
1 cup frozen green beans
1/3 cup pesto
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly cracked pepper
1 Tbsp grated Parmesan
1

Chop the bell pepper, yellow squash, and zucchini, and slice the red onion.

2

Cube the chicken breasts into ½-inch pieces.

Add the cooking oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high. Once the skillet and oil are very hot, add the chicken and sauté until the chicken pieces are opaque (3-5 minutes).

Add the green beans to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes more, or just until thawed.

5

Add the bell pepper and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes more.

6

Add the yellow squash and zucchini to the skillet and continue to sauté 2-3 minutes more, or just until the squash softens slightly.

7

Turn the heat off, add the pesto to the skillet, and stir until everything is coated. Give the vegetables a taste and add salt, pepper, or more pesto if desired. Top with a light sprinkle of Parmesan just before serving.
