Description
A one-pot comfort dish that brings a harmony of flavors, perfect for busy weeknights or cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken thighs or breasts (or tofu/lentils for vegetarian option)
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or teriyaki sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Begin by dicing your proteins and chopping your vegetables into uniform pieces.
- Cook the proteins: In a large pan, drizzle a bit of oil over medium heat. Add your chosen protein, seasoning it lightly with salt and pepper. Sear until it’s cooked through, roughly 7-10 minutes. Remove it from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same pan, toss in a little more oil if needed, followed by the onions and bell peppers. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add spices and flavors: Sprinkle in your herbs and spices. Stir well for about 1 minute to release their delightful aromas into the air.
- Combine everything: Return the cooked proteins to the pan. Pour in your stock or sauce and stir to blend all the flavors. Let this mix simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Serve hot: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs.
Notes
Serve with crusty bread or steamed rice for a well-rounded meal. Great for leftovers.
