Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Season them generously with salt and pepper, and then set them aside.

- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover it with foil to keep warm.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and sauté the onions for about 2 minutes.
- Add the broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers to the skillet. Season the vegetables with the remaining spice mixture, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes.
