Cooking Instructions
- Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl combine garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and chili powder; take half of the seasoning and sprinkle it over the chicken.
- Add ½ tablespoon olive oil to the chicken and toss around to coat evenly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces to the hot oil and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until browned on all sides and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet, set aside on a plate, and keep covered.
- Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining olive oil. Stir in the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the broccoli, zucchini, and peppers. Add more oil to the skillet if needed. Season with remaining spice mix plus salt and pepper, and continue to cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir occasionally.
- Stir in the chicken broth.
- Return chicken and any chicken juices to the skillet; stir around to combine and cook for a minute.
- Remove from heat. Taste for salt and adjust accordingly.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
You can use boneless chicken breasts or boneless chicken thighs. Tailor the heat and seasonings to your taste. Watch the temperature while cooking to avoid burning the spices.
