Description

A comforting and creamy one-pan chicken and vegetable dish that’s perfect for weeknight dinners. Packed with tender chicken, mixed vegetables, and a rich, savory sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon flour (optional, for thickening)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add onions and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, and green beans. Cook for 5–7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
  7. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add flour if a thicker consistency is desired.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep.
  • Swap vegetables based on seasonal availability.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
