Tips for Making the Best Chicken and Vegetable Skillet:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you do, the chicken and vegetables won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Season the chicken and vegetables generously: This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Add the vegetables at the right time: Some vegetables, such as broccoli and carrots, take longer to cook than others, such as zucchini and spinach. Add the vegetables in order of their cooking time, so that they are all cooked through at the same time.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: They should be tender, but still have a bit of a crunch.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetable skillet immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the skillet.
