Description
A delicious one-pan meal featuring tender chicken and a variety of colorful vegetables, perfect for a quick and healthy dinner.
Ingredients
- 500 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- ½ lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and season with paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Brown the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Add the onion and carrots and cook for about 3 minutes.
- Add the bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli. Cook for another 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add the garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and butter. Cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the broth to reduce slightly and coat the chicken and vegetables.
- Finish: Turn off the heat and squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- Serve: Serve immediately with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, quinoa, or warm crusty bread.
