#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Ingredients**: Start by chopping your protein into bite-sized pieces and your vegetables into chunks. You can use any veggies you like, but I often go with a mix of carrots, potatoes, and bell peppers for a balanced dish.
2. **Season the Protein**: In a large bowl, season the protein with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and mix well, making sure everything is evenly coated.
3. **Cook the Protein**: Heat a large pan over medium heat and cook the protein until it’s browned on all sides. This usually takes about 6-8 minutes depending on the size of your pieces. Once cooked, set it aside.
4. **Cook the Vegetables**: In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed and toss in your chopped vegetables. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to season.
5. **Add Broth and Simmer**: Return the protein to the pan and pour in the broth. Stir everything together, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the broth has reduced into a delicious sauce.
6. **Serve**: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and serve with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread. Enjoy!
