Vegetable stew with zucchini and chicken breast
The vegetables stew in their own juices with oil and onion until soft, slightly sweet and fragrant — tasty, not just healthy.
Ingredients
- 🍗 Chicken breast — 120–150 g
- 🌱 Quinoa — 50 g dry (or 150 g cooked)
- 🥒 Zucchini — ½ small (150 g)
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa and simmer in salted water until done (about 15 minutes).
- Heat a spoonful of oil in a deep pan.
- Dice the zucchini and add to the pan: firmer vegetables first, softer ones 3–4 minutes later.
- Sauté for 4–5 minutes, season, add 3–4 spoonfuls of water, cover and stew for 12–15 minutes until the vegetables are soft and slightly sweet.
- Slice the chicken breast into strips, season with salt and pepper and pan-fry over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until golden. Stir into the stew 2–3 minutes before it is done, or serve alongside.
- Serve with quinoa.
