Quick Chicken Breast Recipe with Vegetables ingredients

How do I make this Quick Chicken Breast and Veggies dinner dish for my family?

First, gather all the ingredients from the refrigerator and the pantry (Affiliate Link) and place them in one place near a cutting board (Affiliate Link).

Cut up the orange pepper into regular-sized chopped pieces. Fresh veggies like peppers are a great addition to a quick dinner meal.

Measure out the paprika and garlic ingredients, as well as the salt and pepper and olive oil (Affiliate Link). Measuring these out beforehand will make it easier to use when you are ready for them.

Sort them in small food containers to easily and quickly add them to the skillet when cooking this recipe. This is also known as Mise en place. See my ingredients image on this post.

Time-Saving Tip: Already prepared, cooked chicken will save you time when making a weeknight meal.

Now that all the ingredients are gathered and cut, it's time to start cooking!

Heat up the nonstick skillet for a few minutes.

Then, add the oil and cook for a minute or two.

Add the cooked chicken and peppers. Saute for two minutes.

Then add half of the smoked paprika, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix them in with the peppers and chicken. If your chicken is already salted, you can omit the salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add the mixed power greens and the rest of the smoked paprika, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover with a lid and cook until the greens are wilted. About 2-3 minutes.

Add the Mexican melted cheese to the top of the greens and add the lid for about 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Serve warm!

That's it! I love it and definitely make this chicken breast recipe again. All these ingredients are usually in my refrigerator, so it will be easy to make when I am in a pinch for dinner ideas. You can even substitute turkey breast for chicken breast. What do you think? Would you make this recipe?
