Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 3 cups mixed bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to cool.

Step 3

Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until they are fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender yet crisp.

Step 6

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet over the vegetables and bring it to a simmer.

Step 7

Add the shredded chicken back into the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the soy sauce over the mixture and stir everything together.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors and heat through.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot as is, or over a bed of rice, quinoa or your chosen grains for a complete meal.
