Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables:
- 1 lb boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup zucchini, diced
- 1 cup corn, frozen or fresh
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
Butter Sauce:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, zucchini, and corn to the skillet. Continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables become tender and fragrant.
- Prepare Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the unsalted butter, honey, low sodium soy sauce, and paprika until well combined.
- Combine and Heat: Pour the butter sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat everything and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot. This skillet dish pairs wonderfully with rice or bread for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Pair the skillet with steamed rice, quinoa, or crusty bread for a more filling meal.
- Adjust the sweetness and saltiness by modifying honey and soy sauce quantities to suit your taste.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes when cooking the chicken.
- Fresh vegetables can be substituted based on availability; frozen veggies work well too.
- Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before adding vegetables for food safety.
