Chicken, mushrooms, and zucchini create a tasty, quick dinner perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1.1 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
02 - 7 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
03 - 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch half-moons

→ For Sautéing

04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
05 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
06 - 2 garlic cloves, minced

→ Seasoning

07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Ground black pepper, to taste

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Dice chicken breast into 3/4-inch cubes for even cooking. Slice fresh mushrooms and cut zucchini into 1/4-inch half-moons. Chop onion finely and mince garlic cloves.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until translucent and lightly golden. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until aromatic.
03 - Add cubed chicken breast to the skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until golden on the outside and fully cooked through. Ensure there is no pinkness remaining inside.
04 - Stir in sliced mushrooms and zucchini. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, allowing mushrooms to soften and zucchini to remain slightly crisp.
05 - Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, so flavors meld together. Adjust seasoning if necessary, then remove from heat and serve immediately.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For additional depth, incorporate fresh herbs such as thyme or parsley just before serving.
02 - Ensure all chopping and slicing are complete before you begin cooking for an efficient workflow.
03 - Pat chicken dry before sautéing for better browning and texture.
