Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and chili powder to create the seasoning blend.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then toss with half of the seasoning blend.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked through (about 5-6 minutes). Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the onions, broccoli, zucchini, and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Add the chicken back to the pan along with the broth and the remaining seasoning blend.
Toss everything together for another 2 minutes until the sauce coats everything and the liquid has reduced slightly.
Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat. You can substitute any seasonal vegetable like snap peas or carrots depending on what you have available.
