Whether you’re cooking for one or sharing with family, it’s the kind of meal that feels like a hug on a plate.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces

1 medium onion, chopped to match chicken size

1 zucchini, sliced lengthwise into quarters, then chopped

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with all the spices, salt, and pepper.
