Instructions
Making the One-Pot Easy Harvest Chicken Skillet is smooth sailing if you follow these simple steps:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Sear the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet and sear them for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Veggies: Toss in the mixed seasonal vegetables. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Return the Chicken: Place the seared chicken back into the skillet with the vegetables.
6. Pour in Broth and Herbs: Add the chicken broth and sprinkle the dried Italian herbs over everything. Stir to combine.
7. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
8. Add Lemon Juice: Once cooked, drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables, stirring gently.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving for a touch of color.
These steps create a hearty, flavorful dish that is sure to impress anyone at your table.
