Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 500 g (1lb) chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 250 g (½lb) zucchini (julienned )
  • 3 garlic cloves (crushed )
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1-2 tsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper (to taste )
  • 500 g (1lb) pasta

Instruction

  • Half the chicken breasts horizontally, resulting in two thin fillets.
  • Season flour with salt and pepper then dip each chicken fillet into the flour mixture, making sure both sides are covered.
  • Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil.
  • Cook the chicken fillets until golden brown on both sides and cooked through (approximately 2-3 minutes per side). Remove from the pan and set aside. 
  • Julienne the zucchini and set aside. In the same pan you cooked the chicken in, saute the garlic and thyme for 30 seconds.
  • Add the zucchini and cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly.
  • Pour in the cream and lemon juice and cook for 4-5 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the chicken back in to the pan and allow to reheat. 
  • Serve the zucchini and chicken with pasta of your choice.
