Instructions
Creating a delicious Mediterranean Chicken Skillet is a breeze if you follow these easy steps:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
3. Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.
4. Mix in Tomatoes and Herbs: Add the cherry tomatoes, oregano, and thyme. Stir everything together to combine, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down and release their juices.
5. Incorporate Olives and Feta: Gently fold in the sliced olives and crumbled feta cheese, allowing them to warm through. Remove the skillet from heat.
6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve the Mediterranean Chicken Skillet with lemon wedges on the side for added zest.
These simple steps will lead you to an incredible, flavor-packed meal that even the busiest cook can master!
