Here is a chicken dish with vegetables that I find delicious … and easy to make.

Ingredients

1/2 kg boneless chicken meat (best from breast area)
250 grams button mushrooms (such as used for pizza)
2 carrots
1 zucchini ( medium size)
1/2 lemon (juiced)
1 paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika powder
pepper to taste
salt to taste
1 teaspoon chicken or vegetable stock
1/4 liter hot water
oil

For: 2 servings

Preparation: 10 min
Cooking: 45 min
Ready in: 55 min

Instructions

Cut the chicken into small pieces, such as cubes
Clean the mushrooms & chop them, together with the other vegetables
Heat 2 - 3 tablespoons of oil in a pan & when hot, add and fry the vegetables for 10 - 15 minutes. This is normally enough to get them cooked. Place them aside
Fry the chicken in about 1 tablespoon of oil for about 10 minutes. Squeeze in juice of the 1/2 lemon. Add spices and continue to fry for about 5 minutes.
Add the chicken or vegetable stock dissolved in 1/4 liter of hot water and mix well
Lemon chicken with vegetables. That should do.

Notes

Serve hot with … potatoes, cassava, rice, chapati, sweet potatoes …
One can try this with other vegetable combinations. I can imagine next time instead of lemon juice, using Soy Sauce (from a Chinese food store) to give it a different taste.

To ensure that none of the vegetables get over-cooked, I usually add them in order of how hard they are, in this case, I would suggest carrots (they take the longest to cook) zucchini, then mushrooms and peppers. The last two can become quite mushy if over-cooked.
