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
  • 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 (or dry white wine, apple juice, or water)
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and chili powder. Sprinkle half over the chicken.
  3. Drizzle ½ tablespoon olive oil over the chicken and toss to coat.
  4. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat, add chicken, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and cover.
  5. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet, sauté onions for 2 minutes, then add broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers. Season with remaining spices, salt, and pepper, cooking for 4 to 6 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  6. Pour chicken broth into the skillet, stirring to combine.
  7. Return chicken along with its juices to the skillet, mix well, and allow to cook together for 1 minute.
  8. Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
