Description

A simple, flexible dish built for busy weeknights and special meals alike, delivering big flavor with everyday ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 11.5 lb Protein (chicken breast or thighs)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 23 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper or seasonal vegetable, chopped
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 can diced tomatoes or 2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (optional)
  • Salt, pepper, olive oil, and fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. Pat protein dry and season lightly.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet and brown protein on both sides, 3–5 minutes per side depending on thickness.
  3. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Add onion and garlic to the same skillet and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes.
  5. Add chopped vegetables and cook until they release moisture.
  6. Stir in tomatoes and stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to lift brown bits.
  7. Return the protein to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce.
  8. Simmer gently, uncovered, until the sauce reduces and the protein reaches safe internal temperature (165°F for chicken).
  9. If baking, transfer to a baking dish, top with cheese, and bake at 400°F for 10–15 minutes until bubbly.
  10. Finish with chopped herbs and a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

Tip: To keep flavor and safety, consume refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days.
