Notes
Slice the chicken thin and even so it cooks quickly and uniformly. Keep the pan hot but not smoking to get a nice sear without burning the garlic. Don’t overcook the zucchini and peppers; they should stay slightly crisp. Taste and adjust salt at the end, especially if adding salty toppings like feta. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out the chicken.
