Directions
- Prepare Ingredients: Begin by chopping your protein and vegetables into bite-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Sauté the Protein: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the protein and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Vegetables: Toss in the chopped vegetables and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until they’re tender but still crispy.
- Add Broth: Pour in the broth and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Once everything is cooked to perfection, serve hot. Garnish with fresh herbs for an added flavor boost.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient Substitutions: You can easily swap the protein for beans or lentils for a vegetarian option.
- Optional Variations: Add spices like paprika or cumin for a different flavor profile. For extra creaminess, you can mix in some coconut milk or cream.
- Storage or Reheating Tips: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave until warmed through.
