Preparing 30-Minute Dinner

Making this dish is easier than you might think! You’ll be prepping and cooking everything in a single skillet, which minimizes cleanup time and fuss. The process involves browning the chicken, adding vibrant veggies, and serving it all over rice or pasta—simple yet satisfying.

What you’ll need

For this easy dinner, gather these ingredients:

• 1 pound chicken breast, diced
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (I recommend bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots for crunch and color)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Cooked rice or pasta, for serving

Feel free to swap out the vegetables for your favorites or whatever you have on hand, such as snap peas, zucchini, or asparagus.
