Butter Garlic Chicken and Zucchini Ingredients

– Chicken legs: I use chicken legs because they are more juicy and flavorful. But, you can use any chicken pieces that you like.

– Zucchini: I like to use zucchini because it is a low carb vegetable. I combine the yellow and green zucchini for a pop of color with the meal.

– Bell pepper: Red, yellow or green bell peppers can be used for this recipe. They are naturally sweet and go well with the butter garlic sauce.

– Olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is my favorite oil to cook with. It has a mild flavor and is healthy for you.

– Rosemary:  I like to use dried rosemary for this recipe. But, if you have fresh rosemary, then you can use that as well.

– Garlic: I always use fresh garlic when cooking. It has a strong flavor and goes well with the chicken and zucchini.

– Butter: Salted or unsalted butter can be used for this recipe. I prefer to use salted butter because it adds flavor to the dish.

– Italian seasoning: This blend of herbs that goes well with the garlic butter sauce.

– Salt and pepper: I like to use Himalayan pink salt and freshly ground black pepper for this easy recipe.
