I absolutely love Italian food, but for me that usually means a bowl of pasta dripping in melted cheeses.
I am so glad to say that this healthier Italian meal was just as, if not more, delicious and satisfying as that bowl of pasta. Making it even more appealing, this Italian White Bean Chicken recipe is a one pot meal!
Ingredients
- 2 clove garlic, sliced
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 4 zucchinis, sliced
- 2 (15.5 ounce) cans white beans, drained
- 2 roma tomatoes, chopped
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Prepare a skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Cook the garlic in the skillet until browned. Add the chicken and cook until slightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.
Stir in the zucchini and white beans into the skillet; cover and cook about 5 minutes. Scatter the chopped tomato over the dish; cover again and cook another 2 minutes. Add the basil leaves and cook 1 minute more.
Season with salt and pepper to serve.

I make a mean chicken burger, it is the most requested thing I am asked to make at parties, and family gatherings. My husband thinks I should sell them but I think he is biased
I like to make fish tacos and also chicken ala king
I like to make a chicken and vegetable stir fry that is really healthy and good
I like to make grilled fish or chicken packets with tons of fresh veggies and herbs.
We are big fans of stir fry. It is a great way to use up bits of leftover vegetables. We typically use chicken as our meat, but sometimes just do all veggies. Quick, easy, healthy. Win!
My favorite healthy meal to make is vegetable or brown rice pasta with sauteed lemon and garlic kale and sesame seeds. It’s super easy to make and delicious to eat!
Love this. I like to try things with not a lot of prep and shopping time which makes me want to try this. Comfort food gone light.
Vegetarian lasagna – it’s fun to see how we can make it different every time.
I make my kids grilled cheese and tomatoes.
meatless spanish rice:)
