Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by washing and chopping all your vegetables. Slice the zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion, then halve the cherry tomatoes. Next, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for quick and even cooking.
- In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the seasoned chicken pieces, ensuring they're evenly spread out. Sear the chicken until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Using the same skillet, drizzle in a bit more olive oil if needed. Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then incorporate the zucchini and bell peppers, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until they become tender yet crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together gently, and allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and vegetable mixture, stirring to combine. Add any additional flavors you desire, and heat everything through for 1 more minute.
