High Protein Low Carb Dinner

Print Recipe

A delicious high protein, low carb dinner that is easy to make and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of lean chicken breast
  • 2 cups of broccoli florets
  • 1 cup of bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup of zucchini, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Start by washing and chopping your vegetables. Cut the broccoli into small florets, slice the zucchini and bell peppers, and mince the garlic.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Then, add the chopped broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
  4. Combine: Once the vegetables are cooked, cut the chicken into strips and add it back to the skillet. Mix everything together so that the chicken and veggies are well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Feel free to mix and match vegetables. Marinate the chicken for a more flavorful dish.
