Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (red or green)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1⁄3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 1⁄4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of half a lemon

Method
 

  1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the ground chicken and cook it through, breaking it apart until browned, roughly 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring often until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Mix in the chopped bell pepper, dried oregano, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Let this cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the pepper to soften.
  4. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced Kalamata olives, combining everything well. Cook for 5 minutes so the tomatoes release their juices and meld with the other ingredients.
  5. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and let it warm slightly and melt into the mixture.
  6. Take the skillet off the heat, then fold in the freshly chopped parsley and squeeze in the lemon juice.
  7. Give it a final taste and tweak any seasoning if needed before serving warm.

Notes

  • This skillet tastes great alongside a fresh green salad. Feel free to swap ground chicken for turkey or beef. For a little heat, chili flakes work well. Perfect for meal prep and keeps up to 3 days refrigerated. Zucchini or spinach can be added for extra veggies. This recipe is keto-friendly and gluten-free.
