I prepared a dish with chicken fillet and vegetables from Azerbaijan kitchen

chicken fillet

🥗Healthier: turkey breast

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey breast is leaner, while chicken thighs are often less expensive.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point, while vegetable oil is more budget-friendly.

bell peppers

🥗Healthier: cucumbers

💰Cheaper: frozen mixed vegetables

Cucumbers add crunch with fewer calories, while frozen mixed vegetables are cost-effective.

fresh parsley

🥗Healthier: cilantro

💰Cheaper: dried parsley

Cilantro offers a fresh flavor, while dried parsley is more economical.

Marinate chicken fillet with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.

Grill the marinated chicken fillet for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and juices run clear.

Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in sliced bell peppers, carrot, and zucchini; cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Add diced tomatoes and bay leaf; simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors.

Season vegetables with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve the sliced chicken fillet over the sautéed vegetables, garnished with fresh parsley.
