    Tips and FAQ for this Chicken and Vegetable Skillet

    If you swap out the vegetables, keep in mind that they may have different cooking times than those listed in the recipe.

    Can you Cook Vegetables and Chicken Together?

    You can, as long as you make sure the chicken is cooked completely through without overcooking your vegetables. Because they need different cooking times, I recommend separating them.

    Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

    You can use boneless skinless chicken thighs in place of breasts. Your cooking time will vary.

    What vegetables are in mixed vegetables?

    These mixed vegetables include sweet mini peppers (or bell peppers), cauliflower, and broccoli. You can use any variety of mixed vegetables that you like. It just may vary your cooking time.

    How many calories are in chicken mixed vegetables?

    Each serving has 208 calories.

    Is it OK to cook raw chicken with vegetables?

    Yes, you can cook chicken with vegetables. You need to be sure the chicken is fully cooked before consuming. This recipe doesn't cook them at the same time, but it is something you can do for other recipes.

    Do You Cook Chicken or Vegetables First?

    For this recipe, you'll cook the chicken first, remove it from the skillet and then cook the vegetables.

    Vegetables that go with Chicken and Substitutions

    • Chicken Breast - you can substitute the chicken breast with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Be sure to cut them into bite-size pieces.
    • Vegetables - you can substitute the vegetables in the recipe for your favorite vegetables. Your cooking time may be a little different so keep that in mind.

    What vegetables go good with chicken?

    All vegetables go good with chicken, but favorites include broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and potatoes.

    How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat Chicken with Mixed Vegetables

    Allow it to cool completely and come to room temperature. Place it in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator up to 4 days.

    You can reheat the stored meal in the microwave or stove top. I recommend heating over low heat on the stovetop for best results.
