Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 1 medium, sliced into half-moons zucchini
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 4 cups cooked white rice

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini, and sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes to heat the chicken and allow it to absorb the flavors.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh pop of color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve the Mixed Up Chicken over a bed of cooked white rice and enjoy!
