A hearty and flavorful one-pan dish featuring spicy chicken, tender vegetables, and crispy potatoes. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved

  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken with paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Add baby potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  7. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
