Simple Skillet Magic

Final Touch:
Carefully bring it all together, letting flavors mix but keeping everything from overcooking.
Veggie Game:
Toss in your veggies based on which take the longest, so each one keeps the right bite.
Chicken Step:
Sear your chicken just until the edges brown, so it stays tender and juicy.

Awesome Serving Ideas

Try spooning it next to brown rice or quinoa to scoop up all the great sauce. Give it a spritz of lemon juice at the end if you're feeling zesty. If you're packing meals ahead, pop it in with some roasted sweet potato or cauliflower rice on the side.

Fun With Skillet Swaps

Make it your own by tossing in what's fresh. Mushrooms give it that extra rich vibe. Pop in snow peas if you want crunch. Stir in basil or cilantro at the end. For a nutrition boost, grab a handful of baby spinach at the finish—watch it wilt fast!

Staying Tasty

Keep everything sealed up tight in the fridge for up to four days. When reheating, toss it back in a skillet with a splash of broth if things look dry. If you're getting meals set for the week, don't fully cook the veggies—you want them to hold up later.

This one-pan wonder makes eating healthy easy and actually enjoyable. Lean chicken with crisp veggies has you covered for busy nights or when you want a smart meal ready to grab. You still get bite and flavor from every ingredient, and they all vibe together perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I use different vegetables?
Definitely. Throw in mushrooms, carrots, or even sugar snap peas. Just tweak the cook time as needed.
→ How do I store leftovers?
Stash it in the fridge in something airtight. Good for about 3 days. Warm it up in a pan or even a microwave.
→ Can I use chicken thighs?
Go for it! Boneless thighs are tasty. You might need to cook them just a bit longer.
→ Is this meal prep friendly?
Yep. Split it up into containers and keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. The veggies keep a nice bite.
→ What can I serve with this?
It’s awesome by itself, but rice, quinoa, or some crusty bread soak up all the saucy bits.
