Healthy Chicken and Vegetables Skillet is a mouthwatering one-pan dish that’s perfect for a quick and nutritious weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 2 cup broccoli florets
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
1. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and half of the spice mix. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
2. Heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
3. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
4. Return the skillet to the stove and heat the remaining olive oil. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes.
5. Toss in the broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers. Season with the remaining spice mix, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
6. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine.
7. Return the cooked chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
9. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Consider using alternative healthy oils like avocado or coconut oil, swapping in turkey or lean ground chicken for the protein, and experimenting with different vegetable combinations based on your personal preferences and dietary needs.
