Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1 piece zucchini squash cut into rounds and then quartered
  • 1 piece fresh lemon for zest and juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or Tongs
  • Cutting Board and Knife

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, lemon pepper, and paprika.
  2. In a shallow dish, coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini rounds and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat and add butter, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, lemon zest, and juice. Stir until combined.
  6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them. Add the sautéed zucchini back to warm through.
  7. Plate the chicken and zucchini, drizzling more glaze over the top. Garnish with sliced fresh lemon if desired.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken in the glaze for a few hours for extra flavor.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Fresh lemon juice is recommended for the best flavor.
