Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Start by cutting the chicken breast into 1/2-inch cubes and season with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, add the chicken and sauté for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
Remove the chicken and add the chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent.
Add broccoli, zucchini, and bell pepper, stir-frying for 5-6 minutes until crisp-tender and vibrant.
Pour in chicken stock to deglaze the skillet, stir everything together for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with parsley or red chili flakes before serving immediately.
