Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 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

For the Vegetables:

  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups bite-size 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 (you can also use dry white wine, apple juice, or water)
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut and Season the Chicken: Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  2. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and chili powder. Sprinkle half of the seasoning mix over the chicken.
  3. Coat Chicken: Drizzle ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken, tossing it to coat evenly.
  4. Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
  5. Cook Vegetables: In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Add onions, broccoli, zucchini, and peppers. Season with the remaining spice mix, salt, and pepper. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  6. Add Broth and Chicken: Pour in the chicken broth, return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute.
  7. Finish and Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve.
