Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Clean the chicken breasts under cold running water, pat them dry with paper towels, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Wash and chop the bell pepper, zucchini, carrots, and green beans into uniform pieces for even cooking.

  3. 3

    Mince the Garlic and Chop the Onion

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 5

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent. Then add the chopped bell pepper, zucchini, carrots, and green beans. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  3. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the chicken broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, dried oregano, and dried thyme until well combined. Pour this mixture over the vegetables in the skillet.

  4. 7

    Combine and Finish

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring everything together. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the Chicken Mare Monte hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. This dish pairs well with rice or crusty bread.
