Description

A cozy and comforting chicken dish infused with savory spices and fresh vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chopped vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, or your choice)
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or cilantro)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and allow the chicken to simmer gently for 10 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet and continue cooking for an additional 10-15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped herbs.

Notes

For extra juiciness, consider marinating the chicken in spices a few hours before cooking. Ensure not to overcrowd the skillet for a good sear.
