Ingredients
- 2 Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 200g Tofu, firm, cubed
- 1 Bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 Zucchini, sliced
- 1 Red onion, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Red pepper flakes (adjust to spice preference)
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes. Sauté in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, oregano, and basil. Place them in the pan and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the pan and let rest.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the crispy tofu back to the pan with the vegetables. Slice the chicken thighs and place them on top. Toss everything gently to combine and heat through.
- Serve: Plate the chicken, tofu, and vegetables. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.
