Ingredients: 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 onion, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 red bell pepper, sliced; 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced; 1 zucchini, sliced; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon smoked paprika; Salt and pepper to taste; 1 can diced tomatoes; 1 cup chicken broth; 1 cup quinoa; Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking until they are browned on all sides. Season with oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper for a flavorful base.
Stir in the sliced bell peppers and zucchini, allowing them to soften slightly alongside the chicken.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the cup of quinoa to the skillet, stirring to incorporate it into the flavorful broth. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked through and fluffy.
Check the seasoning and adjust with more salt and pepper if needed. If the mixture appears too dry, you can add a little more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
Once the quinoa is perfectly cooked and the flavors have melded together beautifully, remove the skillet from the heat.
Garnish your delicious chicken and quinoa skillet with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve hot, straight from the skillet, or portion into individual bowls for a cozy family meal. You can also store leftovers in an airtight container for quick and delicious lunches throughout the week.
