Ingredients
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 45 ml
- 2 boneless chicken breast 10 oz / 300 grams each
- 1 medium yellow onion (roughly diced)
- 8 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- 1 red bell pepper (roughly diced)
- 1 small zucchini (cut into thin half moon shapes)
- 1/4 cup dry white wine 60 ml
- 1 tsp dried oregano 1 gram
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme 0.50 grams
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper 0.65 grams
- 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz / 410 grams
- 1 cup black pitted olives 130 grams
- 2 tsp lemon juice 10 ml
- 2 tbsp feta cheese 18 grams
- sea salt & black pepper
- chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil
-
In the meantime, add the chicken breasts over some paper towels and pat dry, then season with salt & pepper on both sides, and then cut each one into 1-inch (2.50 cm) pieces
-
Once the oil is nice and hot, add in the pieces of chicken, all in a single layer, and cook for 2 minutes per side, then remove from the pan and set aside
-
Using the same pan with the same heat, add in the chopped onion, sliced garlic, chopped red bell pepper, and sliced zucchini, and mix together, then mix every 1 to 2 minutes so everything evenly sautes
-
After 6 to 8 minutes and the vegetables are lightly sautéed, add in the white wine, oregano, and thyme, mix together, and then simmer for a couple of minutes
-
Once the alcohol has been cooked off in the wine, about 3 minutes, add in the canned diced tomatoes, black pitted olives, and season with salt & pepper, and mix together until well mixed
-
Add the pieces of chicken and their juices back into the pan, once again in a single layer, and flip each piece so they're fully coated in all that goodness, then place a lid on the pan and lower to a low-medium heat, simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through (165°F - 74°F), then remove the pan from the heat
-
Serve directly out of the pan, topped with the lemon juice, crumbled feta, and chopped parsley, enjoy!
