Ingredients

Scale

1 lb Lean protein (chicken breast, turkey, or tofu)
2 cups Fresh vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, and zucchini), chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tbsp Dried Italian herbs
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, optional, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by prepping your protein of choice. If using chicken or turkey, cut it into bite-sized chunks. For tofu, press and cube it
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute
  3. Add your protein to the skillet, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Sauté until cooked through (about 5-7 minutes for chicken/turkey; 7-10 for tofu)
  4. Next, toss in the fresh vegetables. Stir them well and let them cook for an additional 5 minutes until tender but still crispy
  5. Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer, and allow it to reduce slightly (about 3-4 minutes)
  6. Finally, drizzle fresh lemon juice over the dish, stir, and remove from heat
  7. Serve warm, garnished with Parmesan cheese if desired

Notes

Always opt for fresh ingredients; they provide the best flavor and nutrition.

Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking.

Experiment with spices to keep your meals interesting; it’s an easy way to transform the same base recipe!

Utilize non-stick cookware to minimize the use of oil, enhancing the health factor.
