Ingredientes

4 small (6-to-8-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

3/4 tsp. black pepper

3 tbsp. olive oil

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 red onion, cut into a large dice

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1/2 c. dry white wine

1 c. cherry tomatoes, halved

3/4 c. pitted green olives, halved

Instruções

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. In a large oven-safe skillet or braiser, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook on one side until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and lightly golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, olives, oregano, zucchini, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

Nestle the chicken seared-side up in the vegetables. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the internal temperature of the chicken registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes.

Sprinkle with parsley and serve with rice.
