Easy, skillet meals are becoming sort of a staple in my meal prep routine. Not only are they super easy to whip together, but the clean up is even easier! This Pesto Chicken, Zucchini, and Green Bean Skillet can be on the table in under 30 minutes and is something the entire family will love! It’s high in protein, low in carbs, and full of delicious pesto flavor. So let’s get to the recipe!

Start out by washing and cutting your zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Then wash and trim the ends off of the green beans. Set both aside.

Take out a large skillet pan and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Then trim and chop the raw chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch, and place in the sprayed pan. Cook over medium-heat until the chicken is fully cooked, and no longer pink. Then add in your green beans and zucchini and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Finally add in the pesto and mix thoroughly.

Top with shredded mozzarella and serve immediately. This recipe also keeps in the fridge for about 5 days.
