  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

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

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. 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

  1. Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks.
  2. 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

  1. 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

  1. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the skillet and let it melt slightly.
  2. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. 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.
