You know I’m a huge fan of one pan meals here at AK. What could be better than cleaning up just one s،et (okay, and a cutting board)? Today I’m bringing back an easy, incredibly flavorful one pan sazon s،et chicken that’s ready in just 30 minutes.
If you’ve made my sazon grilled chicken you know what these flavors are all about. Perfectly ،ed, warming and so addicting. This recipe takes juicy sazon-seasoned chicken and pairs it with beautiful summer veggies that are also cooked in ،memade sazon seasoning. It’s a sazon party over here and I know you’re gonna love it.
I love to top the w،le s،et with cheddar cheese because what’s life wit،ut a lil melty, cheesy goodness? The result is much like your new favorite burrito bowl. Pair it with my suggested toppings and add-ins and enjoy the BEST 30 minute meal you’ve had in a while!

What is sazon?
Sazon is a really popular Puerto Rican ،e that can be found it many Mexican and Spanish markets. Traditional sazon is a blend of coriander, ،in, achiote, garlic powder, oregano, salt & pepper. I love to make my own with what I typically have on hand (subbing turmeric for annatto seeds/achiote). It tastes very close to the real thing but with a couple of twists!
Ingredients in this one pan sazon s،et chicken
This easy and delicious sazon s،et chicken is packed with all of the goods: fresh summer veggies, flavorful seasonings and tons of protein. Here’s everything you’ll need to make it:
- For the sazon: we’re using my ،memade sazon seasoning filled with delicious, warming ،es.
- Veggies: this s،et dinner is made with onion, red bell pepper, zuc،i (of course) and fresh corn.
- Protein: you’ll add some ،less, skinless chicken ،, plus a can of black beans for tons of protein.
- On top: I love adding shredded cheddar cheese at the very end! This is optional but highly recommended.
Customize this healthy sazon s،et chicken
- Go dairy free. Feel free to keep this dish dairy free by using your favorite dairy free cheese shreds or simply omitting the cheese.
- Pick your veggies. I love the summer veggies in this dish but you could also use broccoli or brussels sprouts! Try adding sweet ،ato when fall rolls around, too.
- Try a veget، version. I think cubed tofu or a can of chickpeas would also be delicious in place of the chicken.
Our fav ways to serve it
This 30 minute sazon s،et chicken is delicious on its own, but here are some more great ways to serve it:
- Pair it with my fluffy green rice, coconut rice or quinoa for an amazing burrito bowl.
- Add it to your fav flour or corn tortillas for a new twist on delicious tacos!
- Don’t forget to top it with green onion, fresh cilantro, greek yogurt or sour cream and your fav ،t sauce.
Flavorful sazon chicken s،et in 30 minutes
Dinner in 30? Yes, please. Here’s ،w to make this one pan sazon s،et chicken:
- Prep your seasoning. S، by mixing together all of the ،es for the ،memade sazon seasoning.
- Cook the chicken. Add some olive oil to a large s،et and cook your cubed chicken with half of the sazon seasoning. Once cooked, remove it from the pan.
- Cook the veggies. Using the same s،et (truly a one pan meal!) cook the garlic, onion and bell pepper until the onion is tender. Then add in the zuc،i, corn and black beans with the rest of the sazon seasoning.
- Put it all together. After the zuc،i gets a little fork-tender, add the chicken back in and cook it a bit to pull the flavors together.
- Cheese it & serve! Reduce the heat to low, sprinkle on the cheese and cover the s،et so that it melts nicely. Then serve on its own or in any of the ways above. Don’t forget the yummy toppings!
Storing tips
Add any leftover sazon s،et chicken and veggies to an airtight container and place it in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Simply reheat any leftovers in the microwave.
