How to Make This Healthy Chicken and Veggie One Pan Meal
Prep the Chicken
Grab a small bowl and add the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried rosemary, paprika, and chili powder. Mix to combine.
Meanwhile, cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl. Then, drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil along with half the seasoning mixture into the bowl. Toss to coat.
Cook the Chicken and Veggies
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. This should take around 10 to 15 minutes or so. Check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F with an instant read thermomter. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the skillet and add the onion, bell peppers, carrots, and remaining seasoning to the skillet. Cook for another 10 minutes. The veggies should be nice and soft with a little browning.
Add the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Then cook for another 2 minutes to let the liquid reduce. This simple step helps bring out the flavors of the veggies.
Add the Chicken and Serve
Toss the cooked chicken back to the skillet and mix everything together. Spoon out portions onto dishes and serve with fresh thyme.
