Warm Pesto Bowl with Chicken
Health Highlights
An incredibly easy pesto and chicken recipe.

Ingredients


1 chicken breast (196 g) Chicken breast, boneless, skinless, grilled (cooked)
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 medium Zucchini (sliced)
5 mushroom(s) Shiitake mushrooms, raw (or cremini, roughly chopped)
2 medium Tomato (roughly chopped)
2 leaf Collard greens (or baby spinach or kale, julienned)
3 tbsp Basil pesto (BioItalia)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black pepper

Instructions


1. Cook your chicken by either poaching it in a pan with water, pressure cooking it, or adding seasoned chick breasts to an oven at 425 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 F. 

2. Heat oil in a medium skillet on medium heat and prep your vegetables. 

3. Add zucchinis and spread them out in the skillet so they cook evenly, cook for about 5 minutes or until tender ( al dente). Add mushrooms with salt to encourage the mushrooms to release water into the skillet, stir to combine and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Add a little extra oil if the skillet is looking dry and veggies are sticking.

4. Add tomatoes and collards and cover with a fitted lid on for a few minutes, you still want the collards to be bright green. Stir in pesto to the vegetable mix, season with fresh pepper, and additional salt if desired. Serve tossed with warmed chicken.
