Mexican Chicken Zucchini Skillet Recipes

SKILLET CHICKEN AND ZUCCHINI ENCHILADAS WITH TOMATILLO SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 12" (preferably cast-iron) skillet over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring, until it starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add zucchini, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion and zucchini are softened and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Stir 1 1/2 cups salsa, scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Fold in the chicken and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Transfer enchilada filling to a medium bowl; set skillet aside (do not wipe out).
• Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave on high in 30-second bursts, flipping after each burst, until warmed, about 1 minute total. Alternatively, wrap in foil and heat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, 10-12 minutes.
• Pour 1 cup salsa into reserved skillet. Working with one at a time, dip tortillas in salsa until coated on both sides; transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Divide enchilada filling among tortillas. Roll each tortilla around filling and place seam side down in skillet, arranging in a pinwheel formation.
• Heat enchiladas over medium-high. Pour remaining salsa over enchiladas, making sure each is coated. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover with a lid or large baking sheet and cook until cheese is melted and enchiladas are warmed through, about 3 minutes. Top with sour cream, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

Steps:

• 1. Spray skillet with olive oil or pam spray. Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with cumin and chili powder. Place seasoned breasts in hot skillet and cook until starting to brown.

• 2. Heat additional olive oil in skillet. Slice zucchini in half and then into 1/4 inch slices. Chop cleaned peppers and onion. Add veggies to skillet and sauce until onion starts to soften.
