Hey Lykkers, ready for a meal that’s both healthy and delicious?


This steamed chicken fillet with zucchini is your go-to for a nutritious, low-calorie meal that doesn’t compromise on flavor!


<h3>Ingredients</h3>


2 boneless, skinless chicken fillets


2 medium zucchinis, sliced


2 garlic cloves, minced


1 tablespoon olive oil


1 teaspoon dried oregano


Salt and pepper to taste


1 lemon, sliced


Fresh parsley for garnish


Optional: chili flakes for a bit of heat


<h3>Steps</h3>


<b>Step 1: Prep the Chicken Fillets</b>


Season the chicken fillets with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Rub the minced garlic over the fillets for an added punch of flavor. Set the chicken aside to absorb the seasoning for about 10 minutes.


<b>Step 2: Prepare the Zucchini</b>


While the chicken rests, slice the zucchinis into thin rounds. Toss the slices in a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.


Zucchini is low-calorie and packed with nutrients, making it a perfect pairing for the chicken.


<b>Step 3: Set Up the Steamer</b>


If you’re using a steamer, fill the bottom compartment with water and bring it to a boil. If you don’t have a steamer, you can use a pot with a steamer basket.


Make sure the water level is just below the basket so the ingredients steam rather than boil.


<b>Step 4: Steam the Chicken and Zucchini</b>


Place the seasoned chicken fillets in the steamer basket, with the zucchini slices arranged around them. Lay lemon slices on top of the chicken for added freshness and flavor.


Cover the steamer and cook the chicken and zucchini for about 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).


<b>Step 5: Final Touches and Plating</b>


Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the steamer from heat. Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley and, if desired, a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.


The steamed zucchini should be tender but still slightly crisp, a perfect complement to the juicy chicken.


This steamed chicken fillet with zucchini is light, flavorful, and perfect for a healthy lifestyle. It’s a simple yet satisfying dish that brings out the natural goodness of each ingredient. Enjoy the magic of healthy eating!
