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 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)

Instructions
Cut and Season the Chicken: Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
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.
Coat Chicken: Drizzle ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken, tossing it to coat evenly.
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.
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.
Add Broth and Chicken: Pour in the chicken broth, return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute.
