Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and pepper.

  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. Add the sliced bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp, about 5 minutes.

  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cherry tomatoes, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Stir everything together and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

  7. Once everything is cooked through and well combined, remove the skillet from the heat.

  8. Serve the light and hearty chicken and vegetable medley over cooked quinoa or brown rice, if desired.

  9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
