Wash, trim & cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 2

Drain the artichokes, then cut them in half or in quarters depending on the size.

Step 3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the zucchini & frozen peas. Season with salt & pepper. Cook for 6-7 min, or until tender. Stir in the pesto.

Step 4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a separate frying pan over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel & season all over with salt & pepper. Sear the chicken for 5-7 min on each side, or until golden & cooked through (165ºF internal temp).

Roughly chop the basil.

Step 6

Add the artichoke hearts & basil to the pan of veggies. Stir to combine. Remove from the heat.
