Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large, diced Red bell pepper
• 1 medium, sliced Zucchini
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini slices, and broccoli florets. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 4

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Stir to combine and let simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the chicken and vegetables. Cover the skillet with a lid and let cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve the Cheddar Chicken Vegetable Skillet warm and enjoy!
