Pollo al Timo is a flavorful Italian dish featuring succulent chicken breast marinated in aromatic thyme and garlic, served with a side of sautéed vegetables. This low-carb meal is perfect for a light lunch while still being satisfying and delicious.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Fresh thyme - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Zucchini - 1 medium, sliced
• Bell pepper - 1 medium, sliced
• Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated (optional)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the chopped fresh thyme, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the chicken is marinating, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the marinated chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown.
5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
6. In the same skillet, add the sliced zucchini and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender.
7. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
8. Serve the sliced chicken on a plate with the sautéed vegetables on the side, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
