INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a large skillet on medium-high, heat oil. Add onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes, until soft. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Add thyme, salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute, still stirring occasionally, until thyme is fragrant. Add potatoes, broth and maple syrup and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium, partially cover and simmer for 10 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Add zucchini and cook for 1 minute, until crisp-tender.
