Description
A cozy keto meal featuring tender seasoned chicken paired with a vibrant vegetable medley, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 2 salmon fillets)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup bell peppers (any color, sliced)
- 1 cup zucchini (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and are beautifully golden brown.
- Sauté the vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, heat another skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of olive oil if needed. Toss in the broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they’re tender-crisp. Toss in fresh lemon juice for a zesty finish!
- Combine & serve: Once the chicken is beautifully cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it. Serve it alongside the vibrant vegetable medley.
- Enjoy warm: Dig into your creation while it’s still warm!
