Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 15 oz chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces in a single layer, season with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then stir and continue cooking until the chicken reaches 165°F, about 7-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Toss in the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp with slight char marks.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds, stirring constantly.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with chickpeas and olives. Stir together for 1-2 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish and top with crumbled feta cheese while still warm. Serve immediately.
