Description
A vibrant one-pan meal packed with lean protein and fresh vegetables, perfect for a quick and healthy dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cups bite-size broccoli florets
- 1 zucchini, thinly sliced and cut into half-moons
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth (or substitute with dry white wine, apple juice, or water)
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken pieces generously with salt, pepper, and half of your spice mix.
- Drizzle ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken, tossing to coat evenly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch skillet. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned and cooked through. Once done, transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Sauté the sliced onions for 2 minutes until softened.
- Add the broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers to the skillet. If needed, add just a bit more oil. Season the vegetables with the remaining spice mix along with salt and pepper. Continue cooking for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Pour in the chicken broth (or your substitute) and mix everything well.
- Return the cooked chicken and its juices to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat for an additional minute.
- Once everything is heated through, taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and prepare to serve.
Notes
Feel free to substitute veggies based on what you have on hand, like asparagus or green beans.
