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-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
chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, season with salt and pepper, and set it aside.
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.
Drizzle ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken, tossing it to coat evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and fully cooked.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate. Cover it to keep warm while preparing vegetables.
Return the skillet to heat with remaining olive oil. Add onions; cook for about 2 minutes until slightly softened. Add broccoli, zucchini, yellow bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Season with remaining spice mix along with additional salt and pepper as needed. Cook for about 4 to 6 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Pour in the chicken broth; stir well to combine. Return cooked chicken along with its juices back into the skillet.
Stir everything together; cook for another minute until heated through.
Remove from heat; taste your dish. Adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
