Ingredients
  • 2 medium, boneless, skinless, cubed Chicken Breast
  • 1 cup Broccoli Florets
  • 1 medium, sliced Bell Pepper
  • 1/2 medium, sliced Onion
  • 1 medium, sliced Zucchini
  • 2 cloves, minced Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Aminos
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Prepare the Ingredients

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes. Slice the bell pepper, onion, and zucchini. Mince the garlic. Have all the ingredients ready to go before you start cooking.

Sauté the Chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and zucchini and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.

Combine and Season

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the coconut aminos, lemon juice, and dried oregano. Stir well to combine and heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Serve

Serve immediately. This skillet is delicious on its own or over cauliflower rice.
