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 black pepper to taste

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup zucchini, sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup spinach leaves

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, and add the broccoli, zucchini, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

        Add Remaining Ingredients: Toss in the cherry tomatoes, spinach leaves, and Italian seasoning. Stir well until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are slightly blistered, about 2-3 minutes.

          Combine Everything: Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the vegetables. Cover and let everything cook together for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

            Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot straight from the skillet.
