The 10-Minute “One-Pan Power” Sauté

High-Protein | Low-Carb | Zero StressThis recipe is the ultimate solution for busy nights when you want something gourmet without the mountain of dishes.

It’s creamy, savory, and packed with fuel.

The LineupThe Protein:

1 cup chicken breast,

cubed (swap for turkey for a leaner profile).

The Crunch: ½ cup broccoli florets +

¼ cup vibrant diced bell peppers.

The Aromatics: 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil,

garlic powder,

and a generous dust of smoked paprika.

The “Secret” Sauce:

2 tbsp Greek yogurt (for a tangy protein boost) or light cream cheese (for ultimate richness)

.The Finish:

A snowy sprinkle of shredded mozzarella or sharp parmesan.

The 10-Minute MethodThe Sizzle:

Heat your oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat.

Toss in the chicken, dusting it immediately with your garlic and smoked paprika. Let it sear until golden and fragrant.

The Color:

Add the broccoli and peppers. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes.

You want the vegetables to stay vibrant and “snap” when you bite them.

The Creamy Magic:

Turn the heat down to low.

Stir in your Greek yogurt or cream cheese. Watch as it melts into a silky, savory sauce that coats every piece of chicken.

The Meltdown:

Top with your cheese of choice. Cover the pan for 30 seconds—just long enough for the cheese to become a gooey, golden blanket.

✨ Why It WorksThis meal hits all the

right notes:

the smoke from the paprika, the creaminess of the yogurt, and the freshness of the greens.

It’s the savory hero to your Brownie Mix Cookies sweet side!
