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 (mix of red, yellow, and green)

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

1 cup (120g) shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup (70g) almond slivers or walnuts (optional)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Instructions
 

Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

    Add Veggies and Fruit: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced bell peppers, and pineapple chunks. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly and infuse the chicken with flavor.

      Cheese It Up: Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

        Crunch Factor (Optional): If using, sprinkle the almond slivers or walnuts on top for some extra crunch and nuttiness.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve directly from the skillet for a rustic, fun presentation!
