Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 medium zucchinis sliced
  • 2 red bell peppers diced
  • 1 large red onion sliced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives halved
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley optional

Method
 

  1. Prep all vegetables and ingredients before cooking for smooth workflow.
  2. Heat 1.5 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and half the herbs. Sear 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add remaining olive oil to the same pan. Sauté onions and garlic 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add bell peppers and zucchini, cooking 5-6 minutes until softened but still crisp.
  5. Return chicken to the pan along with sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and remaining herbs. Toss together for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, and half the feta, stirring gently to warm through.
  7. Serve topped with remaining feta and fresh parsley.

Notes

Add lemon juice at the end for maximum brightness. For a low-FODMAP version, use garlic-infused oil and omit onions.
