Notes
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 zucchini, sliced
- 2 red bell peppers, chopped into chunks
- 1 broccoli crown, cut into florets
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup (60ml) low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Season the Chicken:
In a large bowl, toss chicken pieces with salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and Cajun seasoning until evenly coated. - Cook the Chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, until fully cooked and golden. Remove from skillet and set aside. - Sauté the Veggies:
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion (add a bit more oil if needed) and cook for 2 minutes. Then add broccoli, zucchini, and bell pepper. Sprinkle a little extra Cajun seasoning and cook over medium heat until veggies are crisp-tender. - Combine & Finish:
Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for another minute to heat through. - Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and chili flakes if you like a kick. Serve warm and enjoy!
