Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 small head broccoli cut into bite-sized florets
