Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the chicken and onion, cooking until the chicken is just a little pink in the middle, about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, add the yellow squash, green zucchini, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Keep things moving in the pan, stirring occasionally, until the veggies begin to soften, which should take around 4 minutes. Then, add the garlic and cook for another 3 minutes or so, stirring often until you can really smell that garlic aroma. Pour in the chicken stock and stir in the tomato paste along with the herbes de Provence, cumin, oregano, and celery salt. Give everything a good stir and let it cook a bit longer, adding a splash more liquid if it looks dry, until the vegetables reach the tenderness you like—this usually takes between 4 and 8 minutes. Finally, taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
