  3. 💡 Why This Recipe Works for Moms:

🛒 Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • Optional: grated cheese for topping

👩‍🍳 Let’s Cook:

  1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Cook for about 6–8 minutes, stirring now and then, until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
  3. Toss in the garlic, bell peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes. Stir everything together and cook for another 6–8 minutes, just until the veggies are softened but still fresh and colorful.
  4. Want to make it even better? Add a sprinkle of your favorite cheese, cover the pan for a minute, and let it melt.
  5. Serve hot — and enjoy a few minutes of peace (or at least fewer complaints at the table).

💡 Why This Recipe Works for Moms:

  • Done in 20 minutes – perfect for those chaotic weeknights.
  • One pan = less cleanup – because you’ve already cleaned enough today.
  • Nutritious and kid-friendly – protein, veggies, and flavor in one dish.
  • Super adaptable – swap veggies based on what’s in the fridge. No zucchini? Try spinach. Tomatoes not a hit? Leave them out. Still a win.

This meal is a small act of self-care that also feeds the whole crew. At MomsNourishTable, we’re all about helping you get wholesome, stress-free meals on the table — because busy doesn’t have to mean boring.
