# Instructions:
01 -
Slice chicken into small 1-inch chunks, sprinkle with black pepper and salt, and keep it aside while you deal with the spices.
02 -
Blend the onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary in a little bowl. You'll use part for the chicken and the rest for veggies.
03 -
Mix the chicken with half the spice blend, then add a drizzle of olive oil (about ½ tbsp). Warm up 1 tbsp of oil in your big pan over medium-high, and cook chicken pieces for 6-8 minutes till golden. Put them under cover to stay warm.
04 -
Use the same pan for onions first, cooking them for 2 minutes. Toss in the zucchini, broccoli, and bell peppers. Stir in the leftover spice mixture, and let everything cook for 4-6 minutes until they're crisp but not too soft.
05 -
Add broth to the pan, pop the chicken back in, and stir the whole thing to mix. Heat it all up for another minute, then shower with parsley before digging in!
# Notes:
01 -
Switch the veggies to whatever you're craving or have handy.
02 -
Broth substitutes: a bit of water, apple juice, or even wine will work.

It's fantastic for meal prep and will hold up nicely for a few days.
