Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken cutlets

  • ¼ teaspoon salt, divided

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • ⅓ cup dry white wine

  • 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes

  • 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Method

  1. Sprinkle chicken with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, zucchini and onion to the pan. Cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and add wine. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, cream cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring to melt the cream cheese, for 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce. Serve topped with basil.
