  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, chopped

Sauce & Flavor Boosters

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Pat the chicken pieces dry and season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Add the seasoned chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
  2. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil if needed.
  2. Toss in the onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli, cooking for 5 minutes until slightly tender.
  3. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 4: Add the Sauce & Combine Everything

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and stir well.
  3. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and mix everything together.
  4. Let it cook for 2-3 more minutes until everything is well coated and heated through.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Plate the dish with your favorite side—it pairs well with rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes.
  2. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for extra flavor.
