Chicken Veggies Skillet (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Protein

01 - 1 pound of boneless chicken breasts, sliced into chunks about an inch wide

→ Seasonings

02 - A sprinkle of salt and pepper, as much as you like
03 - 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
06 - 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary
07 - 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
08 - 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, depending on your preference

→ Produce

09 - 1 tiny yellow onion, sliced super thin
10 - 3 cups of small broccoli pieces
11 - 1 yellow bell pepper, chunked into inch-sized pieces
12 - A small red bell pepper, also cut into 1-inch chunks
13 - 1 zucchini, cut into half-round slices
14 - A handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped for topping

→ Liquids

15 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil, split up for different uses
16 - 1/4 cup of lower-sodium chicken broth

# Instructions:

01 - Slice the chicken into bite-size chunks, toss them with a little salt and pepper, and leave them to rest.
02 - In a tiny bowl, stir together onion powder, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Put half on the chicken pieces.
03 - Pour about half a tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken pieces and toss them around until they're shiny.
04 - Heat up a big skillet (about 12 inches) over medium-to-high heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the chicken for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning it now and then till it’s golden and done.
05 - Set the cooked chicken on a plate, cover it loosely to keep warm, and leave it for a moment.
06 - Bring the skillet back over the heat, add the rest of the olive oil, and toss in the onion slices. Sauté them for two minutes before adding broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini. If the skillet feels dry, drizzle a bit more oil. Sprinkle the rest of the spice mix over the veggies, along with more salt and pepper if you’d like. Stir occasionally and cook for about 4 to 6 minutes until the vegetables are tender with a little crunch.
07 - Pour in some chicken broth and give everything a good mix.
08 - Toss the chicken and any juices back into the skillet. Stir it all together and let it warm up for a minute.
09 - Take it off the heat, give it a taste, and tweak the seasonings if something feels missing.
10 - Sprinkle on some parsley and dish it up.

# Notes:

01 - Chicken broth can be swapped out for water, apple juice, or even a splash of dry white wine.
