Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season them with sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee over medium-high heat. Once the ghee is hot, add the seasoned chicken in a single layer. Allow one side to brown before stirring, then cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee to the skillet. Add the sliced zucchini, season lightly with salt, black pepper, and the remaining teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Cook until barely softened.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds.

Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet along with the lemon zest and juice.

Stir and cook until the lemon juice reduces slightly and the dish is heated through. Remove from heat.

Serve the Lemony Zucchini Chicken Skillet alone or over grain-free noodles or cauliflower rice, and enjoy!
