1-First, prepare all ingredients as outlined: zest and juice the lemons, dice the chicken, slice the zucchini and yellow squash, and measure out the seasonings. This step sets you up for success by keeping everything ready.

2-Next, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then season the chicken with salt, pepper, and part of the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3-Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until it’s fully done and golden brown, stirring occasionally. Set the chicken aside on a plate.

4-In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter, then sauté the zucchini and yellow squash with the rest of the seasonings until they’re tender, about 4-5 minutes. For a helpful tip, learning how to cook moist chicken breasts can ensure your meat stays juicy every time.

5-Return the chicken to the skillet, stir in the lemon juice and additional lemon zest, then sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top. Let it cook for another 2 minutes so the cheese melts and blends with the flavors.

6-Finally, mix in the fresh parsley and serve warm, perhaps over rice or pasta for a fuller meal. This method keeps the dish light, zesty, and packed with nutrition.
