ROAST CHICKEN WITH ZUCCHINI, CARROTS, AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, toss vegetables with oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread vegetables on two rimmed baking sheets and roast until tender and golden, 30 to 35 minutes. About 20 minutes into cooking, place chicken and sauce in a small baking dish, cover with foil, and bake alongside vegetables until heated through, about 15 minutes. Slice chicken and serve with vegetables and sauce.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH ZUCCHINI AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, and season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place zucchini on a rimmed sheet pan, and season with a little more salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine garlic, mint or oregano, coriander (if using) and red-pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Add chicken to the pan with the zucchini pieces and pour garlic mixture over all, tossing until well coated. Spread chicken and zucchini in a single layer, and roast until chicken is cooked through and zucchini is browned and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. You don't need to turn anything.
• Once the pan is out of the oven, squeeze a lemon wedge over everything. Garnish with basil and serve with more lemon wedges and red-pepper flakes on the side.

ROASTED RED PEPPER CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

• Mix the marinade with half of the olive oil in a bowl to thin it down. Using your hands, rub it all over the chicken. Let sit for about 5 minutes. Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat, add the rest of the olive oil and put the chicken breasts in the pan. Cover and cook on high heat for about 3 minutes, turn the heat down cook for another few minutes. Flip the chicken and cook the other side as well. Turn the heat off and let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes.
• Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl, taste to make sure seasonings are OK.
• Slice the chicen breasts on a bias.
• Put a tortilla on a plate, put some sauce on it and spread it around. Put as much or as little as you'd like; obviously, the more the tastier. Next, put the chicken slices in the middle of the tortilla with the cheese on top-which will melt a little with the heat from the chicken. Make a wrap and enjoy!

CRISPY PAN-SEARED CHICKEN AND ZUCCHINI WITH OLIVES AND LEMON

Steps:

• Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Using the tip of your knife, deeply score cut sides in a crosshatch pattern, spacing about 1/2" apart. Toss zucchini and 1 tsp. salt in a colander set over a bowl. Let sit 10 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels (discard any liquid in bowl).
• Meanwhile, coat a large cast-iron skillet with 1 Tbsp oil. Season chicken on all sides with 1/4 tsp. pepper and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and arrange in cold skillet (skin side down) in a single layer. Heat over medium and cook, undisturbed, until skin is deep golden brown and chicken is almost cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Turn chicken and continue to cook just until cooked through and lightly browned underneath, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter (skin side up).
• Arrange zucchini (cut side down) in hot chicken fat in skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until surfaces are charred, 6-8 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until skin side is browned, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to platter with chicken.
• Heat garlic and remaining 6 Tbsp. oil in a small saucepan over medium until garlic is sizzling and just barely beginning to brown, 3-4 minutes. Add chile and olives and cook, stirring occasionally, until chile starts to sizzle and brown slightly, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in oregano and lemon zest.
• Spoon garlic oil over zucchini and chicken. Squeeze some lemon juice over and serve with additional wedges alongside.

SAUTEED CHICKEN AND RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon slices and drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, chop bacon into 1-inch pieces.
• Add chicken, bell pepper, green onion, and bacon to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until bell pepper has softened and chicken is heated through, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH ZUCCHINI, ROASTED RED PEPPER, AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• In a skillet cook the onion in 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat until it is softened, add the zucchini, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the zucchini is tender. Stir in the red pepper, the goat cheese, and salt and pepper to taste and cook the mixture, stirring, until cheese is melted. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and let it cool slightly.
• With your fingers make a pocket for the filling in each chicken breast half by separating in skin from the meat, being careful not to tear the skin and keeping the skin attached along most of the edge. Stuff each pocket with half the filling with a small spoon, packing it and pulling the skin to cover the filling completely, and secure the pockets with wooden picks if desired. In a large skillet heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the chicken, beginning with the skin side up, for 2 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat to moderate, cook the chicken for 9 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through, and divide it between 2 plates. Pour off the fat from the skillet, to the skillet add the broth, and boil the broth, scraping up the brown bits, for 30 seconds. Strain the sauce and pour it around the chicken.
