Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 cup bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional for additional flavor)
Instructions:
Prep the Chicken:
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and paprika.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a big skillet over medium. When the oil is hot, place chicken breasts and brown 5-6 minutes per side or cooked through (the internal temperature must be 165°F). Remove the chicken and put it on a plate, and then set aside.
Sauté the Veggies:
Put the minced garlic into the same pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add in the bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with pepper and salt and cook 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
Combine and Serve:
Return the chicken to the skillet and nestle it among the vegetables. If using any, drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over the top for extra flavor and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, just to heat through. Plate the chicken with lots of vegetables on the side. Serve and indulge in your easy, tasty meal!
This recipe shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes and requires minimal ingredients but still gives you a tasty and healthy dinner. You can also serve it with rice or quinoa if you need something heartier!
