Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the boneless chicken thighs with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Chop the Vegetables
While the chicken is marinating, chop the red bell pepper, slice the zucchini, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set them aside.
Cooking

Cook the Chicken
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C/165°F).

Sauté the Vegetables
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped red bell pepper and sliced zucchini. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Add Tomatoes and Basil
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped fresh basil to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are warm and slightly softened.
- 6
Combine Everything
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Stir everything together to combine and heat through for an additional 2 minutes.
