A quick, flavorful, and nutritious One-Pot Chicken and Vegetable Skillet with tender chicken breasts, vibrant vegetables, and savory seasonings.

Ingredients

  1. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 red bell pepper, chopped
    1 zucchini, chopped
    1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    1 cup baby spinach (optional)
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 teaspoon onion powder
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/4 teaspoon paprika
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant and crisp.
  4. Add the spinach (optional): If using spinach, stir it into the vegetables and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until wilted.
  5. Combine chicken and vegetables: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet on top of the vegetables. Let everything cook together for 2-3 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Slice the chicken breasts and serve with the vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional seasoning if desired.

Notes

  • You can use different vegetables like mushrooms, broccoli, or carrots in place of the bell pepper, zucchini, and tomatoes.
  • For added flavor, top with shredded cheese during the last few minutes of cooking to let it melt.
  • If you prefer a more filling meal, serve with rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes.
  • For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes, jalapeños, or chili powder to the skillet.
