Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 200g)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 zucchini, sliced

  • 1 can (400g) diced tomatoes

  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes per side until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  4. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

  5. Add the bell pepper and zucchini slices to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

  6. Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, then add the dried basil and oregano. Stir well to combine.

  7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture.

  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  9. Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

  10. Divide the chicken cacciatore into two equal portions and serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
