Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Choose Your Protein
The first step is picking your protein. I’m a big fan of chicken breasts, but shrimp, beef, or even tofu will work wonderfully too. Season your protein with salt, pepper, and any other spices you love, and get ready to cook.
Step 2: Prep Your Veggies
While the protein is being cooked, chop your vegetables. Go for colorful options like bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. These not only taste great, but they make the dish look stunning too.
Step 3: Make the Flavorful Sauce or Marinade
Now, the magic happens! The sauce or marinade for this dish is surprisingly simple yet packed with flavor. You’ll mix ingredients like olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and maybe a little honey or mustard to bring in a balance of tang and sweetness. Whisk them all together, and you’ll have the perfect thing to bring all the flavors together.
Step 4: Combine and Cook
Heat a skillet or pan over medium-high heat, and cook your protein to perfection. Once it’s done, remove it from the pan and add your veggies, cooking them until they’re just tender but still crisp.
Next, return the protein to the pan, drizzle over the sauce or marinade, and let it simmer for a few minutes to allow everything to meld together.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once everything is cooked and the sauce has thickened, serve the dish with a side of rice, pasta, or even just on its own. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Parmesan for that extra touch.
