Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, chopped

1 bell pepper (red or green), diced

1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (to serve, optional)

Instructions
 

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

    Add Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

      Incorporate Vegetables: Toss in the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets. Stir well to combine the ingredients and allow them to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.

        Add Cherry Tomatoes: Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Stir everything together, ensuring the chicken and veggies are well-coated in the liquid.

          Simmer Together: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This will allow the vegetables to soften and the flavors to meld together.

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired. Enjoy your healthy one-pot meal!
