Delicious healthy chicken and vegetables skillet recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add onion and bell peppers to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in zucchini, broccoli, diced tomatoes (with their juice), oregano, and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Step 4: Return chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and chicken is heated through.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent dryness.
  • Serve this hearty skillet over quinoa or brown rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
