Chicken Bites with Vegetables

Chicken bites with vegetables are a simple, healthy, and full of flavor dish. Here is the recipe to prepare them:

Ingredients

  • 400g of chicken breast
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Aromatic herbs to taste (for example, rosemary, thyme, oregano)
  • Vegetable broth or water, if necessary

Preparation

  1. Start by cleaning and cutting the chicken breast into small pieces.
  2. Wash the vegetables. Slice the zucchini and carrot into rounds, the pepper into strips, and finely chop the onion and garlic.
  3. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil and sauté the garlic and onion until they become translucent.
  4. Add the chicken bites to the pan and brown them on all sides, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Once well browned, add the cut vegetables and let cook, stirring occasionally.
  6. If during cooking the mixture should dry out too much, add a bit of vegetable broth or water to keep it juicy.
  7. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is completely cooked.
  8. Finish with freshly chopped aromatic herbs to further flavor the dish.

Curiosity

If you want to add an Italian touch, you could finish the dish with some fresh basil and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese. This will give a fresh and tasty note that matches well with the simplicity of the vegetables and the delicacy of the chicken.

This dish pairs well with white wine, perhaps a Pinot Grigio or a fresh and light Chardonnay that can balance the flavors of the chicken and vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
