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’d love to win. I saute lots of vegetables.
Tabouleh is one of my go-to healthy recipes.
I love making my own mini pizzas, I use spelt english muffins or ezekiel, organic tomato paste, reduced fat blend of cheese, turkey pepperoni, pineapples, and sometimes ground turkey. Also just made some cauliflower mash instead of mash potatoes it was amazing!! Would love to try a zucchini or eggplant lasagna
I try to make our hamburgers a little healthier by baking them and adding a lot of crispy vegetables as toppings instead of heavy mayonaise.
I like to make mini pizzas healthier.
I like to make anything Tex Mex. One of my favorites is King Ranch Chicken (think chicken enchilada casserole) only using all scratch ingredients…no soup cans.
I like to make a Greek quinoa and avocado salad!
I would love to make a nice fruit and vegetable salad.
Veggie lasagna. I don’t always use the same veggies, it is more seasonal. Although it takes time to make this, it is worth it. Some of my favorite ingredients to use are zucchini, eggplant, roasted red peppers, spinach, artichoke hearts. I use two sauces béchamel and tomato and use several cheeses.
I like making baked fish and steamed veggies.
Thanks for the chance.
