Zucchini Chicken

Zucchini is still coming out of our ears!

"Classy Chicken" is the name of this recipe on AllRecipes. Not only did I take the small liberty of slightly modifying the recipe, I took the larger liberty of renaming it. "Zucchini Chicken" may be less original, but "Classy Chicken" evokes a strange image of Ron Burgundy reminding San Diego to "stay classy" before digging into a plate of chicken tossed with zucchini. 

1 cup flour
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
Salt & pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup fat-free chicken brother
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 zucchini - cut in half lengthwise, then sliced diagonally
5 sun-dried tomatoes (I used 1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes, drained)
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/3 cup fat-free sour cream

  • Season chicken with salt & pepper. Coat in flour, shaking off excess. Heat butter in large skillet. Brown chicken over medium-high heat, about 3 min each side.
  • Pour chicken broth and white wine into skillet. Stir in mustard.
  • (Pour a glass of wine for yourself. Drink.)
  • Cover and cook until chicken is partly-cooked (still a little pink inside).
  • Add zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, and dill weed. Cover and cook 5-10 minutes, until chicken is cooked and zucchini is tender.
  • Set chicken on platter... it's not classy yet.
  • Stir sour cream into pan liquid, adding more wine if necessary (or desired). Sprinkle in a little salt. Pour over chicken.
   

This one is a keeper. Next time I'll try adding fresh tomato, to add color and make it even more summery.
