Description

This light creamy chicken and veggie sauté is a quick, healthy dinner made in one skillet. Packed with tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and a silky savory sauce, it’s perfect for busy weeknights or easy meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into small pieces

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

  • 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds and quartered

  • 1 large green bell pepper, cut into squares

  • 1 cup broccoli florets, bite-sized

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 6 green onions, chopped


Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken, soy sauce, dry sherry, and cornstarch. Toss until evenly coated and let rest for 5 minutes.

  • Heat the skillet: Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Cook the chicken: Add chicken in a single layer and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate

  • Sauté vegetables: Add remaining oil to the skillet. Toss in zucchini, bell pepper, and broccoli. Cook for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender and vibrant.

  • Add garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • Make it creamy: Pour in chicken broth, return chicken to the pan, and stir gently. Sauce should thicken slightly and look glossy

  • Finish & serve: Sprinkle with green onions, toss once more, and serve hot
