    Serves 4

Ingredients

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 small zucchini, cut into thin strips
1 small leek (white and pale green parts only), cut into thin strips
4 2-inch-long pieces celery, cut into thin strips
1/2 medium carrot, cut into thin strips
3 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
8 large fresh basil leaves, sliced

Preparation

  1. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and half of thyme. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Add zucchini, leek, celery, carrot, garlic and remaining thyme. Sauté until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes. Return chicken to skillet, nestling chicken among vegetables. Pour in broth; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter. Add basil and boil until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; spoon sauce over chicken.
