A vibrant and flavorful Mediterranean Chicken Skillet with juicy chicken breasts, colorful veggies, and topped with olives and feta cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Seasoning the chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, oregano, and paprika on both sides.
  2. Heating the skillet: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to warm up.
  3. Cooking the chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Sautéing the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper for about 3-4 minutes until they become tender.
  5. Adding more veggies: Stir in the zucchini slices and cherry tomato halves, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Nestling the chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the vegetables. Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables.
  7. Flavor meld: Scatter the sliced olives over the dish, cover the skillet, and allow everything to cook for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  8. Finishing touches: To finish, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley over the entire skillet just before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for a couple of hours before cooking. Feel free to swap in seasonal veggies.
