Mediterranean Chicken Zucchini
A flavorful and healthy Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring tender chicken and fresh zucchini.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 medium zucchini sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 0.25 cup Kalamata olives pitted and halved
- 0.25 cup feta cheese crumbled
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the sliced zucchini to the same skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes are slightly softened.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese just before serving.
Notes
Serve hot as a main course. This dish pairs well with a side salad or crusty bread.
