Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 500 g Blanc de poulet (Coupé en fines lanières)
  • 2 tablespoons Huile d'olive (I recommend using extra virgin olive oil for added flavor)
  • 1 medium Oignon (Émincé finement)
  • 2 cloves Ail (Hachées finement; feel free to add more if you love garlic!)
  • 1 Poivron rouge (Coupé en dés)
  • 1 Courgette (Coupée en demi-rondelles)
  • 200 g Champignons de Paris (Tranchés)
Seasonings and Broth
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika doux (For a spicier version, you can use smoked paprika)
  • 1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence (My preferred herb mix for this recipe)
  • to taste Sel et poivre To taste
  • 200 ml Bouillon de volaille (Homemade if possible; otherwise, a good-quality cube works well)
  • 1 tablespoon Sauce soja (Optional, but I love the depth of flavor it brings)
Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Persil frais (Haché) For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cutting the chicken breast into thin strips.
  2. Finely slice the onion and chop the garlic. Prepare the other vegetables by dicing the bell pepper, slicing the zucchini into half-moons, and cutting the mushrooms.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken strips and let them cook for about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set it on a plate.
  3. Using the same skillet, add the sliced onion and chopped garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until they become translucent.
  4. Add the diced bell pepper, sliced zucchini, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still slightly crisp.
  5. Incorporate the sweet paprika and herbs de Provence into the mix. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the chicken broth and soy sauce, if using.
  6. Mix everything well and let it simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Serving
  1. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, consider marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Vegetable substitutions can be made based on availability.
