Ingredients
- Chicken breast (1 lb, diced): Lean and high in protein. You can substitute with skinless turkey breast or shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Broccoli florets (2 cups): Rich in vitamin C and fiber, broccoli adds bulk and nutrients. Frozen broccoli is a fine substitute if fresh isn’t available.
- Zucchini (1 medium, diced): Low-calorie and hydrating, zucchini contributes mild flavor and texture. Yellow squash can be used as a substitute.
- Carrot (1 large, diced): Adds natural sweetness and Vitamin A.
- Onion (1 medium, finely chopped): For depth and savoriness. Shallots or leeks work well too.
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced): Essential for aromatic flavor and immune support.
- Low-sodium chicken broth (4 cups): Choose homemade or store-bought broth with minimal additives. Vegetable broth can be used for a lighter flavor.
- Olive oil (1 tablespoon): For sautéing and healthy fats.
- Salt and pepper (to taste): Enhances all flavors naturally.
- Optional herbs: Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish and extra aroma.
