Ingredients
  

Skillet Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) Chicken Breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups (150g) Broccoli Florets vibrant green
  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 medium Zucchini cut into rounds
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Avocado Oil for high-heat searing
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Chicken Stock low sodium
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) Soy Sauce low sodium
  • 1 tbsp (21g) Honey for balance
  • 1 tsp (5g) Cornstarch for the shimmering glaze
  • 1 tbsp (4g) Fresh Parsley finely chopped for garnish
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) Black Pepper freshly cracked

Equipment

  • 1 12-inch Cast Iron Skillet A rustic black skillet provides the best sear.
  • 1 Chef's Knife For uniform vegetable slicing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken cubes dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk chicken stock, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in the cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until a deep golden-brown crust forms on all sides, about 5-6 minutes total. Remove chicken from pan.
  2. Add broccoli and red peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 3 minutes until vibrant green. Add zucchini rounds and cook for 2 more minutes.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Once bubbling and thickened, return chicken to the pan. Toss to coat everything in the shimmering glaze.
  4. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley and cracked black pepper before serving directly from the skillet.
