One Pan Italian Chicken Skillet: A Quick and Flavorful Dinner

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of chicken breast, diced into bite-sized chunks

• • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil, or unrefined coconut oil)
  • 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 oz fresh button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed and cut in halves
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon dry Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality balsamic vinegar
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Guidelines:
Get the chicken ready: Season the bite-sized chicken pieces with half of the dry Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper first. This will help infuse strong tastes into the chicken right away.
Heat the Oil and Cook the Chicken: Heat the extra virgin olive oil (or any other oil of your choice) in a big pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the heated oil. Cook, stirring periodically, for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. When it’s finished, move the chicken to a platter and save it.
Sauté the Vegetables: Add the minced garlic to the same pan and sauté it for about one minute, or until its scent emerges. Stir in the bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus, and sliced mushrooms next. Cook the veggies, stirring often, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they start to soften but maintain some crispness. After adding the last of the Italian spice to the veggies, sauté them further.
When the veggies are almost done, add the balsamic vinegar and put the chicken back in the pan. Pour the extra-virgin balsamic vinegar over the chicken and veggies, mixing to blend. Let the dish simmer for a further two to three minutes so that the flavors combine and the balsamic vinegar begins to caramelize a little.
Season and Serve: Use more sea salt and black pepper to taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. For a more substantial dinner, serve the hot One Pan Italian Chicken Skillet over quinoa, rice, or pasta.
