Zesty Lemon Herb Chicken & Veggie Skillet (Low Point!)

Yields: 4 servings Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 20-25 minutes

Weight Watchers Points: Approximately 0-2 PointsPlus per serving (using 0-point chicken breast and spray oil, adjust based on your current plan and exact ingredients).

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes (0 WW points)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or use olive oil cooking spray for fewer points)
• 1 large bell pepper (any color), chopped
• 1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup chicken broth (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick

Equipment:

• Large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan
• Tongs or spatula

Instructions:

1.  Prep Chicken & Veggies: Pat the chicken cubes dry with a paper towel. Chop all your vegetables so they are ready to go.

2.  Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or spray generously with cooking spray) in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and mostly cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3.  Sauté Veggies: Add the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion to the same skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften and get a slight char. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
