When I first tasted this recipe, I couldn’t help but get 3 helpings

Ingredients for the Dish That Will Have You Coming Back for More:

• Fresh vegetables (like bell peppers, onions, or zucchini)
• A protein of your choice (chicken, beef, or tofu)
• A blend of herbs and spices (garlic, cumin, paprika, or fresh basil)
• A rich sauce or broth to bring everything together
• A hearty base, like rice, pasta, or quinoa
• Optional toppings like cheese, sour cream, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs

How to Make It:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by chopping your fresh vegetables and choosing your protein. If you’re using chicken, cut it into bite-sized pieces, or crumble tofu for a vegetarian version. Prepare your base—whether it’s cooking rice, pasta, or quinoa.
2. Cook the Protein and Veggies: In a hot skillet, cook your protein until it’s browned and cooked through. Remove it from the pan and set it aside. In the same skillet, sauté your vegetables with a touch of oil, garlic, and your chosen spices until they’re soft and fragrant.
3. Create the Sauce: Add your sauce or broth to the pan, scraping up any bits from the bottom for extra flavor. Bring it to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together. You can thicken the sauce with a little flour or cornstarch if you prefer a richer texture.
4. Combine Everything: Add the cooked protein back into the skillet with the vegetables, followed by your cooked base. Stir everything together until it’s well coated and heated through.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Plate your dish, and feel free to top it with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, cheese, or sour cream for an extra burst of flavor. Take a moment to appreciate how delicious and comforting it looks—and, of course, dive right in!
