Ingredients

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add baby potatoes and boil for 8 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breast pieces, season with salt, pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and sauté for 6-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add garlic, carrots, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add broccoli florets and boiled potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with thyme, oregano, and remaining smoked paprika. Sauté for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and potatoes are golden.
Return chicken to the skillet and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes to heat through and combine flavors. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, fresh finish.
