Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • ½ tsp rosemary
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Season the Chicken: Toss chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté chicken for 6-8 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Cook the Vegetables: Add more olive oil to the skillet, then sauté onions for 2 minutes. Add broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers. Cook for 4-6 minutes.
  • Combine and Simmer: Pour in chicken broth, return chicken to the skillet, and stir everything together. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  • Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
  • Swap vegetables based on what you have. Carrots, green beans, or mushrooms work great!
  • For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
