Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Kosher salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 medium head of broccoli (cut into florets)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for broccoli)
  • Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
