Chicken and Vegetables Skillet

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces (or chicken thighs)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon chili powder, to taste
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small head broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and chili powder. Sprinkle half the seasoning over the chicken and toss with ½ tablespoon olive oil until coated.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add onion and cook 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers. Sprinkle with remaining seasoning and cook for about 5 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Pour in chicken broth and scrape any browned bits from the pan into the sauce. Return chicken and juices to the skillet and stir for 1 more minute.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve hot!
