The prep is very simple; you practically mince the garlic and herbs, and dice the zucchini.
Cooking process start immediately after that where you cook the chicken thighs on both sides until they turn golden brown. In the same skillet, you cook the zucchini and it’s done.
Chicken and zucchini are absolutely delightful when they are paired together. Zucchini has a refreshing flavor and after cooking, it imparts a tint of sweetness to the chicken. I love white wine so I added some to complete the flavor.
The zucchini serves as a side dish in this recipe, which is amazing. Enjoy!

Delicious. Added green beans and a carrot from my garden. Thank you. Great recipe.
This was good and easy I had everything on hand except white wine, I used boneless chicken breast bc it’s what I had and thaws quickly. I added a little Apple juice to replace the wine. We will make this again. It tasted like a fresh home cooked meal and I guess it was but wow it’s so easy and good.
I adapted based on what I had available. Boneless skinless thighs worked great. I added chopped onion to the zucchini, I added some red pepper to the herbs to give it some zing. I used more wine and lemon juice than the receipt suggests. It was wonderful. Next time I will probably toss with linguine.
Just made this and WOW! Whole family approves. So juicy and flavorful! Look forward to making again, plus trying out other recipes on this site
Thanks.
I thought this was very easy and very flavorful. I loved the sauce the wine and lemon juice made with the herbs and chicken juices. I used boneless skinless thighs because that is what I had and they were tender and full of flavor. Thanks for this wonderful recipe!
Thanks for your support!

Awesome Angela. Thanks for trying my recipe. Please try more recipes on my site: https://rasamalaysia.com/recipe-index-gallery/
I went to the farmers market and got some zucchini and googled meals with zucchini. I think I undercooked the chicken, but the parts of the chicken I did eat were amazing, along with the zucchini and the residual herbs, lemon juice, and wine which I sopped up with some ciabatta bread. I made it again 2 days later because I still had chicken and zucchini. I didn’t undercook the chicken, and it was a-ma-zing.
Also, I don’t cook often, so it took me a while longer than suggested to prep everything.
