Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 medium, sliced Carrot
• 1 large, sliced Bell pepper
• 1 medium, sliced Zucchini
• 1 medium, chopped Onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 7-8 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for about 2 minutes until the onions become translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the sliced carrots, bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the chicken broth, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika to the skillet. Stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

While the vegetables are simmering, shred the cooked chicken breasts using two forks, pulling apart the meat into bite-sized pieces.

Step 6

Return the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring it in with the vegetables until well combined.

Step 7

Cover the skillet and let everything simmer together on low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your paleo shredded chicken with flavorful vegetables.
