Description

A healthy and flavorful one-pan chicken and vegetables skillet, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner packed with protein and fiber.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
