One Pan Italian Chicken Dinner
This one pan Italian chicken dinner is a quick Italian chicken and vegetable dish featuring vibrant veggies, seasoned chicken, and a tangy lemon-broth sauce for a wholesome, flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt divided
- 1 teaspoon pepper divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 medium zucchini sliced into half moons
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper chopped
- 1 pound broccoli crown cut into small florets
- 1 small red onion diced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 lemon juiced (about 3 tablespoons)
- 1/4 cup Italian dressing
- Shaved Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Season chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken pieces and cook 2-3 minutes undisturbed to sear. Stir and cook another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked (165°F). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and vegetables. Sauté for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until veggies start to soften.
- Pour chicken broth and lemon juice into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up browned bits for maximum flavor. Return chicken to the skillet.
- Season with remaining salt and pepper to taste, then drizzle Italian dressing over the dish. Garnish with Parmesan cheese if desired and serve!
Notes
For variations, use cauliflower instead of broccoli, or avocado oil in place of olive oil. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
