Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 carrots
• 4 zucchini squashes, julienned
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup cooking sherry
• 0.5 lemon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag with flour, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag and shake to coat. Remove chicken from the bag, shaking off excess flour.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on each side until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Combine sherry, broth, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon in the same skillet and bring to a boil. Return chicken to skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 4

In the meantime, sauté carrots and zucchini in a separate medium skillet until they are tender. Add to simmering chicken and sauce and heat through before serving.
