Step By Step Making

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.

  6. Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  7. Cook the vegetables, stirring often, until they are tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables.
  9. Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat the chicken through.
  10. If desired, add a splash of soy sauce or lemon juice and stir well.
  11. Serve hot and enjoy your easy, healthy dinner! This dish pairs wonderfully with Zero-Carb Carnivore Cheese Buns or your favorite grain.
