How to Make Chicken Dijon With Angel Hair Pasta And Fresh Zucchini

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
  2. Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin slices, then into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Peel and thinly slice 1 medium yellow onion.
  4. Trim stems from 8 oz cremini mushrooms and slice thinly.
  5. Drain 14 oz can artichoke hearts and cut into small pieces.
  6. Trim 2 medium zucchini and cut into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
  7. Microwave zucchini on high for 6 minutes. Set aside.
  8. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  9. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  10. Add the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  11. Add the onion slices and cook for 1 minute more.
  12. Stir in the mushrooms and artichoke hearts. Cook until the chicken is cooked through (no longer pink) and the vegetables are tender.
  13. Reduce heat to low. Add 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup dry white wine, and 1 tablespoon tamari (or soy sauce). Stir to combine.
  14. Stir in 1/4 cup light sour cream until a creamy sauce forms.

  17. Season the microwaved zucchini with 1 teaspoon butter or margarine, salt, and pepper to taste.
  18. Serve the Chicken Dijon over the pasta, topped with the fresh zucchini and a sprinkle of chopped green onions (optional).
