Preparation

1. Cut 2 chicken breasts (about 300g total) into 1-inch cubes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Add another 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add 1 finely chopped small onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
4. Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add 1 diced bell pepper (any color) and 1 diced small zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of pitted olives (like Kalamata). Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Pro Tips

• For extra flavor, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens up all the Mediterranean notes.
• Serve this skillet meal on its own, or with a side of couscous, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
