This Healthy Chicken and Vegetables Skillet is a quick and balanced one-pan dinner packed with protein and colorful veggies. Seasoned with herbs and spices, and finished with a splash of broth, it’s a light, flavorful, and satisfying meal perfect for busy weeknights.
Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and chili powder. Sprinkle half over the chicken.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over the chicken and toss to coat.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover.
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add sliced onions and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers. Sprinkle with the remaining spice mix, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine.
Return the chicken (with juices) to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for 1 more minute.
Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
For added depth of flavor, sauté the vegetables in batches for better browning.
You can substitute other veggies such as green beans or mushrooms.
Serve over rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
