step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients:

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Quarter the zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and medium dice the onion. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Cut off and discard the stems of the sweet peppers; remove the cores, then medium dice. Combine in a bowl. Place the tomatoes in a bowl and gently break apart with your hands. Roughly chop the pickled peppers and olives; combine in a bowl. Tear the mozzarella into bite-sized pieces. Grate the Grana Padano on the small side of a box grater.

2 Cook the chicken & vegetables:

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and half the Italian seasoning; toss to coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken and zucchini pieces in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and the chicken is cooked through. Add the prepared onion mixture; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened.

3 Make the sauce:

Add the tomato paste and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined. Add the crushed tomatoes and remaining Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined.

4 Finish & serve your dish:

Add the pepper-olive mixture; stir to combine. Evenly top with the mozzarella pieces. Loosely cover the pan with foil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Turn off the heat. Serve the finished skillet garnished with the grated Grana Padano. Enjoy!
