Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup zucchini, sliced

1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or oregano)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned chicken, cooking for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the zucchini, bell peppers, and broccoli. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

        Combine and Flavor: Add the cherry tomatoes back to the skillet along with the chicken. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle the dried Italian herbs over the top. Stir everything gently to combine and let it heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

          Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. This dish can be enjoyed on its own or served over cauliflower rice for an extra low-carb option.
