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 love to add quinoa to dishes to ramp up the protein. My favorite is to add it to black bean and corn chili. Nothing but good things in that!
I love bbq’d salmon w/ lemon juice on top w/ wilted greens and bean salad.
I love making broiled tofu. A couple days ago we and veggie tacos with broiled tofu, black beans, kale and rice with lemon sour cream sauce.
One of my favorite meals to make is minestrone soup. It’s delicious and healthy too.
I like to make soups and risotto.
I like to make baked lightly breaded chicken.
I like to make spaghetti sauce using the the crock pot, it lets it simmer slowly and I don’t have to worry about it burning. When it’s time to eat I just have to cook the spaghetti.
Peppers and onions is super easy and good for you!
I like to make spaghetti with homemade sauce and use spaghetti squash instead of noodles!
I honeslty would make the delicious meal you made above! I Love chicken and love white beans…. I have a Tuscan White Bean and Roasted garlic soup recipe that you eat with homeade large croutons….. absolutely delicious!!!! I love your recipe and am always looking for a new delicious healthy meal to make for my family and this one definitely fits the bill!
