Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized strips or cutlets to ensure even cooking.
  2. Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the minced shallots and sliced mushrooms, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the diced red pepper, sliced zucchini, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
  5. Sauté the vegetables until they are just barely tender-crisp, about 2 more minutes.
  6. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.
  7. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the same skillet.
  8. Add the chicken pieces and the remaining 1 teaspoon of thyme to the hot skillet.
  9. Sauté the chicken, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
  10. Transfer the cooked chicken to the bowl with the vegetables.
  11. Pour the balsamic vinegar into the hot skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  12. Let the vinegar reduce slightly for about 1 minute.
  13. Return the chicken and vegetable mixture to the skillet along with the chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
  14. Toss everything together gently to coat with the balsamic glaze and blend the flavors.
  15. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  16. Serve immediately while hot.
