Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of ½ lemon
For the Vegetables:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
For Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges
Instructions
Step 1: Season and Cook the Chicken
- In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Let it marinate for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Vegetables
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and broccoli. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
- Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, basil, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 3: Combine and Finish
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together. Let it cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For extra brightness, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
