Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup (100g) cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup (150g) sliced bell peppers (assorted colors: red, yellow, and green)

1 cup (150g) pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)

1 cup (120g) shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup (70g) slivered almonds or walnuts (optional, for added crunch)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions
 

Sauté the Chicken: Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the bite-sized chicken pieces. Season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken turns golden brown and is cooked through.

    Add Veggies and Fruit: Incorporate the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, and pineapple chunks into the skillet. Stir the mixture and continue sautéing for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the vegetables to soften and blend their flavors with the chicken.

      Cheese It Up: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.

        Crunch Factor (Optional): If desired, sprinkle the slivered almonds or walnuts over the top just before serving. This adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that complements the dish.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat, and finish with a garnish of fresh basil leaves. Drizzle balsamic glaze generously over the top for a touch of sweetness and acidity. For a casual and inviting presentation, serve directly from the skillet.
