Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Drizzle ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken, tossing it to coat evenly.

Return the skillet to the stove and heat the remaining olive oil. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes, then add the broccoli, zucchini, and peppers. Season with the rest of the spice mix, along with additional salt and pepper if needed. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
06 -
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine.
07 -
Return the cooked chicken and its juices to the skillet, stir everything together, and cook for another minute.

Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with parsley and serve.
