Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 zucchini, thinly sliced and halved
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth (or apple juice, dry white wine, or water)
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

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.

Notes

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.
