Description
A simple and healthy chicken breast and vegetable dinner featuring tender, pan-seared chicken breasts served with sautéed mixed vegetables. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
1 medium yellow squash, sliced into half-moons
1 cup broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving, until golden brown.
Flip the chicken breasts and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add red bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Pour in the chicken broth, cover the skillet, and cook the vegetables for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender but still crisp.
Remove the lid and cook for another 2 minutes to evaporate excess liquid.
Slice the rested chicken breasts and serve alongside the sautéed vegetables.
