Preparing Quick Healthy Dinner
Making this dish is a delightful experience. You’ll start by prepping your ingredients and getting your pan ready. First, heat the olive oil in a skillet, then add the seasoned chicken breast to get that lovely golden-brown sear. Once the chicken is cooked through, toss in your choice of fresh vegetables and sauté them until they’re just tender. The result? A hearty plate that’s bursting with flavor, ready to be served hot!
What you’ll need
- Chicken Breast: Boneless and skinless works best; it cooks quickly and stays juicy.
- Olive Oil: This adds flavor and ensures the chicken doesn’t stick to the pan.
- Vegetables: Choose from broccoli, bell peppers, or others you love. Feel free to mix and match based on what you have at home!
While you can stick to the classic ingredients, substituting chicken with turkey or even tofu can cater to different dietary preferences without losing the essence of the dish.
