  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 2 (about 6 ounces each)
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Red onion: 1 medium, thinly sliced
  • Bell pepper (any color): 1, sliced
  • Cherry tomatoes: 1 pint, halved
  • Kalamata olives: 1/2 cup, pitted and halved
  • Feta cheese: 4 ounces, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and oregano. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Step 3: Add sliced red onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Stir in halved cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften.

  6. Step 6: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the entire skillet and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat the skillet on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to prevent sticking.
  • Serve this vibrant skillet with a side of warm pita bread or couscous to soak up all the delicious juices.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken; cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning.
