Instructions

Saut Chicken and Veggies

Start by warming some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the chicken and onion, cooking them until the chicken is just a little pink in the middle, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, add the yellow squash, green zucchini, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Give everything a good stir and let it cook until the veggies start to soften, around 4 minutes.

Saut Garlic and Add Spices

Then, throw in the garlic and keep stirring frequently until you can really smell that lovely garlic aroma, about 3 more minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and stir in the tomato paste along with the herbes de Provence, cumin, oregano, and celery salt. Mix everything well.

Simmer and Season

Keep cooking and stirring, adding a splash more liquid if it looks too dry, until the vegetables reach the tenderness you like—this usually takes between 4 and 8 minutes. Finally, taste and season with salt and pepper to finish it off.
