  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together. Let it cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. For extra brightness, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top.
  3. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
