Ingredients

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cups broccoli florets, bite-sized
  • ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, thyme, and rosemary. Stir the chicken until it’s fully coated with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion, bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli florets. Sprinkle with a dash of salt and pepper. Cook the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they reach a tender-crisp texture.
  4. Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the chicken broth and mix everything together thoroughly. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until the flavors meld and the liquid reduces slightly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the skillet before serving. Serve warm as is, or pair with rice, quinoa, or your favorite side dish for a more filling meal.
