Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken thoroughly and marinate for at least 30 minutes (overnight if possible).
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté onions and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add zucchini and cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Squeeze lemon juice over everything, stir, and simmer for 2 more minutes to combine flavors.
- Top with fresh parsley before serving and enjoy warm.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the skillet when searing the chicken to ensure proper browning. Let the chicken rest after cooking for extra juiciness.
