Chicken Bites with Vegetables
17/11/2023Chicken 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
- Start by cleaning and cutting the chicken breast into small pieces.
- Wash the vegetables. Slice the zucchini and carrot into rounds, the pepper into strips, and finely chop the onion and garlic.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil and sauté the garlic and onion until they become translucent.
- Add the chicken bites to the pan and brown them on all sides, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Once well browned, add the cut vegetables and let cook, stirring occasionally.
- If during cooking the mixture should dry out too much, add a bit of vegetable broth or water to keep it juicy.
- Cook until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is completely cooked.
- 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!
