Description

A quick and flavorful one-pan chicken and vegetable meal, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season both chicken breasts with salt, pepper, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon dried basil.
  3. Place the chicken in the hot skillet and cook until browned, about 6–7 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  5. Add minced garlic, broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5–7 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook an additional 3–4 minutes until heated through.
  7. Slice or serve whole, and enjoy warm.

Notes

For more tender broccoli, cover the skillet for a minute. This dish goes well with brown rice or quinoa for a more filling meal.
