Scale
For the Skillet:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup green olives, sliced
For Garnish:
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 2: Cook the Ground Chicken
- Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks.
- Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and smoked paprika. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Step 3: Add the Vegetables
- Stir in the cherry tomatoes and sliced olives. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Step 4: Finish with Feta and Parsley
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the skillet and let it melt slightly.
- Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Divide the skillet among serving plates and serve warm. Pair with a side of cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
