Instructions

Prep the chicken: Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Mix the spices: Combine garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and chili powder. Sprinkle half over chicken, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat.
Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken, and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned.
Keep it warm: Transfer chicken to a plate and cover.
Sauté the onions: Add remaining oil and sliced onions to the skillet; cook for 2 minutes until translucent.
Add the veggies: Toss in broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers, and sprinkle with remaining seasoning. Sauté for 4-6 minutes until veggies are crisp-tender.
Bring it all together: Pour in chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet.
Reintroduce the chicken: Add chicken back, stir to combine, and cook for another minute until heated through.
Serve & enjoy: Remove from heat, adjust seasoning, and garnish with parsley.
