Method

You’ll need: frying pan · chopping board · knife

1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Dice the courgettes, halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the onion and garlic.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the chicken until golden brown all over. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then take it out of the pan for a moment.
3. Fry the onion, garlic and courgettes in the pan juices until the courgettes are lightly browned but still have some bite.
4. Add the cherry tomatoes and herbes de Provence and toss everything briefly until the tomatoes soften slightly.
5. Return the chicken to the pan and heat only until everything is piping hot, the chicken is cooked through and the flavours have come together.
6. Serve straight away, ideally fresh from the pan.
