Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 1.5 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken breasts dry and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion begins to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the red bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften but remain slightly crisp.

Step 7

Add the halved cherry tomatoes, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to slightly reduce.

Step 9

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips and return them to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables.

Step 10

Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the chicken and vegetables. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
