Once your chicken has browned beautifully, it's time to incorporate the vibrant vegetables that will bring this dish to life. Begin by adding the halved cherry tomatoes, pineapple chunks, diced bell peppers, and red onion to the skillet. These ingredients not only add a burst of color but also infuse the dish with fresh flavors. Cook the mixture for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften while retaining a slight crunch. This step is crucial as it ensures the vegetables complement the tender chicken without losing their vibrant textures.

Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)

1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), diced

½ cup red onion, diced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup balsamic glaze for drizzling

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

    Cook Chicken: Add bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

      Add Vegetables: Stir in the cherry tomatoes, pineapple chunks, diced bell peppers, and red onion. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften but still retain some crunch.

        Add Herbs: Sprinkle the mixture with dried oregano and fresh basil. Stir well to combine and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

          Cheese it Up: Reduce the heat to low, and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

            Serve and Finish: Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Serve hot right from the skillet for a colorful presentation.

              Enjoy the Flavor: This dish combines savory chicken with a fruity twist, making it a delightful weeknight dinner or unique meal option for gatherings!
