Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 oz fresh button mushrooms
  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped

  • Sea salt and black pepper, to your taste

Instructions

:

  1. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.

  4. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and drizzle with balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add in the bell peppers, asparagus, and zucchini. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and everything is cooked through.

Notes

 

  • Use high-quality balsamic vinegar: The quality of the balsamic vinegar greatly affects the flavor of the dish. Choose one that’s aged and has a rich, syrupy consistency for the best results.
  • Prep your ingredients ahead of time: This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient, especially if you’re short on time.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet: If your skillet is too small, cook the chicken and vegetables in batches to ensure even cooking.
