Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup zucchini, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the chicken breasts, chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the bell pepper and zucchini. Halve the cherry tomatoes and separate the broccoli florets.

    Cook Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Then add the bell pepper, broccoli, and zucchini. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are tender but still crisp.

        Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cherry tomatoes and soy sauce (if using). Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through and combine flavors.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot over rice, quinoa, or on its own for a satisfying, quick meal.
