Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and half the Italian seasoning. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli, and carrot. Season with salt, pepper, and remaining Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Return chicken to skillet and toss to combine. Cook another 2 minutes to blend flavors.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Swap vegetables with snap peas, mushrooms, or spinach as desired.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice or sprinkle grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
  • Use herbs like rosemary or thyme for variation.
  • Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a pan over medium heat to retain texture, or microwave for convenience.
