Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
