Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs. chicken breasts (1” cubes)
- ¾ tsp. onion powder
- ½ tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. salt (divided)
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 12 oz. frozen peas
- ¾ tsp. Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Using a clean cutting board and a sharp knife, cube chicken into 1” pieces and place in a large mixing bowl. Thoroughly wash hands after dealing with raw chicken.
- Sprinkle onion powder, paprika, ½ tsp. salt and black pepper over chicken. Mix with a large spoon.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
- Once oil is hot, add chicken and keep them from touching one another. Cook in two batches if needed. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned on the bottom.
- Flip the chicken pieces over to brown the other side, about 2-3 minutes more. If cooking in batches, place the cooked chicken pieces on a paper towel-lined plate as you cook the second batch.
- Once chicken is cooked through, reduce heat to medium-low and ensure all chicken is in the skillet. Add frozen peas, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and remaining ½ tsp. salt. Stir the mixture together, scraping the bottom of the pan for added flavor.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until peas are warmed through and tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in lemon juice. Top with shredded Parmesan and enjoy!
Notes
- Swap the chicken breasts for chicken thighs or salmon.
- Dried oregano can be used in place of Italian seasoning.
- Use a frozen pea/carrot blend for added flavors.
