One-Pot Protein and Veggie Dish

A quick and versatile one-pot meal with protein and fresh vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb protein (chicken, beef, or plant-based alternative)
  • 2 cups fresh vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, or your preferred picks)
  • 1 cup broth (chicken, beef, or vegetable)
  • 2 cups pasta or rice
  • Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, and your favorite herbs)

Instructions

  1. Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add your protein and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes, ensuring it’s cooked through.
  3. Toss in the vegetables and sauté for an additional 3–5 minutes until they’re vibrant and slightly tender.
  4. Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Stir in the pasta or rice, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Allow it to simmer until fully cooked, usually 15–20 minutes for pasta or 10–15 minutes for rice.
  6. Season to taste, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Pairs well with a light salad or crusty bread.
