Chicken, Zucchini & Squash Lunch Bowl
Uses: chicken thigh, zucchini, yellow squash, spinach, lemon
Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 ounces cooked chicken thigh, sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced zucchini
- 1/2 cup sliced yellow squash
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon oil or butter, if available
Instructions:
- Season the chicken thigh and cook until fully cooked, then slice.
- In the same pan, cook zucchini and yellow squash with a little oil or butter until tender and lightly browned.
- Add spinach at the end and cook just until wilted.
- Add the sliced chicken back to the pan and squeeze in a little lemon juice.
- Serve warm as a bowl, or spoon onto a toasted bun for a vegetable-packed sandwich.
Chef’s note: This is a good way to make the vegetables feel like part of the meal instead of just a side.
Optional: Add a slice of American cheese while the chicken and vegetables are still warm.
