INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Zucchini
1 medium Carrot
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Place the chicken breast in a shallow saucepan and cover with water. Add the garlic, fresh thyme, a splash of lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Poach the chicken for about 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is poaching, slice the zucchini into rounds and peel the carrot, then cut it into thin sticks.
Steam the zucchini and carrot in a steamer basket over boiling water for 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Plate the sliced chicken alongside the steamed vegetables and drizzle with olive oil and an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
