05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
08 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
09 - 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
10 - 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, to taste

# Steps:

01 - Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
02 - In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and chili powder. Sprinkle half of the seasoning over the chicken and toss with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil until evenly coated.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
04 - Add remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Add sliced onion and sauté for 2 minutes, until beginning to soften.
05 - Stir in broccoli florets, zucchini, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining seasoning mixture and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
06 - Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the skillet. Return cooked chicken and accumulated juices to the pan, stirring well to combine. Cook for 1 additional minute until heated through.
07 - Remove skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

# Notes:

01 - For more vibrant flavor, use a combination of chicken breast and thigh meat. Adjust chili powder to desired heat level.
