Instructions
One Pan Chicken and Veggies • Low Carb with Jennifer
1. Marinate the Chicken
 
In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, oregano, and onion powder.
Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the marinade.
Let rest for 15–30 minutes for best flavor.
 
2. Cook the Chicken
 
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C).
Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thick strips.
 
3. Sauté the Vegetables
 
In the same pan (or a separate skillet), heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add broccoli and cook for 2–3 minutes.
Add bell peppers and zucchini, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for another 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp and lightly caramelized.
 
4. Assemble the Bowl
 
Arrange the sautéed vegetables in a bowl.
Top with sliced grilled chicken.
Sprinkle with fresh herbs and add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
