Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided for cooking)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 medium zucchini (sliced into half-moons)
  • 2 red bell peppers (diced into chunks)
  • 1 large red onion (sliced into strips)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and halved)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 lemon (juice only)
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Chop all vegetables and the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Sear the chicken: In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  3. Sauté the aromatics: In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the red onion and garlic until they’re fragrant and softened.
  4. Add the vegetables: Toss in the zucchini, red bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and thyme. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Combine the ingredients: Return the chicken to the pan and toss everything together until well mixed.
  6. Finish with flavor: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture, then stir in the olives and crumbled feta cheese. Gently combine.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Plate your creation warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra color, sprinkle some diced avocado on top before serving. A drizzle of balsamic glaze can add a wonderful contrast!
