Equipment

  • Large skillet or pan
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cubed)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 zucchini sliced
  • 1 bell pepper sliced

  • ½ cup carrots sliced
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil

  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients – Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes and slice all the vegetables.
  • Season the Chicken – In a bowl, toss the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Cook the Chicken – Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the Vegetables – In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed, then toss in the zucchini, bell pepper, carrots, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Add Seasoning and Broth – Stir in oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Combine Everything – Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, toss everything together, and let it heat through for another 2 minutes.
  • Finish and Serve – Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot!

Notes

  3. Adjust Seasoning to Taste – Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices.
  4. Add a Protein Boost – Mix in some cooked quinoa or brown rice for an extra hearty meal.
