Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 3 chicken breast halves
Main Ingredients:
- 1 28 ounce can chopped stewed tomatoes
- 1 14 ounce can chicken broth
- 1 10 ounce package frozen mixed vegetables
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons onion powder
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil into a large skillet, warming it over medium heat until it shimmers slightly.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon ground black pepper and 3 tablespoons onion powder evenly across both sides of your 3 chicken breast halves.
- Carefully place seasoned chicken into the heated skillet, allowing each side to develop a golden-brown crust for 3-4 minutes.
- Pour the entire 28-ounce can of chopped stewed tomatoes into the skillet, retaining half the original liquid for moisture.
- Add 1 14-ounce can of chicken broth and ¼ cup water to create a flavorful cooking liquid around the chicken.
- Gently mix in the 10-ounce package of frozen mixed vegetables, distributing them evenly in the pan.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the dish simmer for 20-25 minutes until your chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as your palate desires.
- Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture to serving plates, ensuring each portion includes a generous amount of sauce.
Notes
- Drain excess liquid from tomatoes to prevent the dish from becoming too watery and diluting the flavors.
- Select chicken breasts of similar size to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from drying out while others remain undercooked.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular chicken broth for a certified gluten-free alternative and check vegetable blend ingredients.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or basil just before serving to boost the dish’s brightness and create a restaurant-quality presentation.
