Chicken Bites with Zucchini and Tomatoes
Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut in bite size pieces
  • 1 Tbsp basil pesto (recipe link in post)
  • 3 medium zucchini, sliced in thin circles
  • 1 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 4 + 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp tapioca flour (or cornstarch)
Instructions

  1. In a bowl add the chicken stripes and the tapioca flour. Mix and set aside for 10 min.

  2. Trim the zucchini and slice them in 3mm circles. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.

  3. In a large skillet add 2 Tbsp olive oil and let it heat up for 1 min at high. Add the chicken. Distribute the chicken evenly so that it doesn't overlap and let it cook without stirring for 3 minutes so that it will form a lovely golden sear. Stir the chicken and keep cooking for another 8 minutes up until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet.

  4. Put the skillet back on the stove at medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and the zucchini. Let the zucchini cook for 1 min without stirring to sear them and then mix. Cook for 5 min stirring occasionally.

  5. Add the tomatoes, the chicken and the basil pesto to the skillet. Mix for 1 min and serve.
