Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cups bite-sized broccoli florets
- 1 zucchini, thinly sliced and cut into half-moons
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- ¼ cup low sodium chicken broth
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper. Set it aside to absorb the flavors.
- Mix together garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and chili powder. Sprinkle half of this seasoning mix over the chicken.
- Drizzle ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the seasoned chicken, tossing it to ensure an even coating.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally until it’s beautifully browned and fully cooked.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, cover it, and keep it warm.
- Return the skillet to the stove and heat the remaining olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook for 2 minutes, allowing them to soften.
- Add the broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers to the skillet. If the pan seems dry, feel free to drizzle in a little more olive oil. Season with the remaining spice mix, plus a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are bright and crisp-tender.
- Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
- Return the cooked chicken and its juices back to the skillet, stirring everything together. Cook for another minute to warm through.
- Remove from heat, taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve it up hot!
