Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 cup red onion sliced
  • 2 large zucchini or 3 medium, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper cored and chopped
  • 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts chopped
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients to a large non-stick skillet and heat to medium-high. Stir the mixture well and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the zucchini reaches desired done-ness, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve with your choice of side dishes. More sautéed or roasted vegetables and steamed brown rice are my picks, but serve it up how you like it!
