A flavorful high protein low carb chicken skillet packed with lean chicken, vibrant vegetables, and optional mozzarella cheese, perfect for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and chop the chicken breast, bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken breast, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté until cooked through and golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
