A quick and easy chicken dinner recipe that delivers maximum flavor in just 30 minutes, featuring tender chicken and colorful sautéed vegetables.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the broccoli, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes.
- Sauté these vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender yet crisp.
Serving
- Slice the cooked chicken and place it on a plate along with the sautéed vegetables.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch.
Notes
If you have leftovers, store the chicken and vegetables in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper searing of the chicken.
