Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this dish shine:
Protein: 2 pounds of your choice (chicken thighs, tofu, or shrimp).
Vegetables: 1 cup each of chopped bell peppers, onions, and zucchini.
Carbs: 2 cups of cooked rice or pasta.
Seasoning: 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Sauce: 1 cup of your favorite creamy or tomato-based sauce.
Extras: Fresh parsley and grated cheese for garnish.
Directions
Prep the Ingredients: Chop your veggies and prepare your protein by seasoning with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cook the Protein: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the protein until golden brown and fully cooked, then set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped veggies. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and fragrant.
Combine Ingredients: Add the protein back to the skillet, along with the sauce and cooked carbs. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Simmer and Serve: Let the dish simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors. Garnish with parsley and grated cheese before serving.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Serve hot, straight from the skillet, alongside a fresh green salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain the sauce’s consistency.
