Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Add sliced zucchini, chopped bell peppers, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir everything together.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let the vegetables soften for about 5-7 minutes.
If you like a little heat, sprinkle in the red chili flakes.
Once the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.

Serve immediately and enjoy your one-pot meal!

Notes

You can substitute the chicken breast with thighs for a juicier option.

Feel free to add any other vegetables you enjoy, like carrots or mushrooms.

For a dairy-free option, this recipe is already dairy-free, just be sure the Cajun seasoning doesn’t contain any dairy.
