Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and mostly cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate.
2. Add the broccoli florets and zucchini slices to the same skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme, then cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
3. Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the water and fresh lemon juice. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and vegetables to finish cooking to your desired tenderness. Serve immediately.
