Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the dried oregano and thyme. Let the mixture come to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let everything cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the lid and sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top. Cook uncovered for an additional 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your Chicken Skillet Supper as-is or with a side of crusty bread.
