Ingredients
-
1 lb (450g) skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1 cup green beans, chopped in half (add to taste)
-
2 red bell peppers, chopped into chunks
-
1 broccoli crown, broken into florets
-
1 zucchini, sliced
-
1/2 onion, sliced
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
-
1/4–1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
-
1/4 cup (60ml) low-sodium chicken broth
-
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
-
1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Sauté the chicken: Add the chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and half the spice mix (garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, chili powder). Cook until browned and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes). Remove and set aside.
-
Cook the veggies: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Add onion, bell pepper, zucchini, green beans, and broccoli. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender.
-
Combine and finish: Return the chicken to the skillet, add chicken broth and remaining spices. Stir everything together and let simmer for another 3–4 minutes to combine flavors.
-
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and red chili flakes if desired. Serve warm!
Notes
Great for meal prep—stays fresh in the fridge up to 4 days.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for brightness.
Swap in other veggies like mushrooms, carrots, or snap peas based on what you have on hand.
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes in olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
