  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

 


Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

  1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Cook Onion and Garlic: Add the diced onion and cook for about 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  1. Add Ground Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Season: Stir in the dried oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 3: Add Vegetables and Cheese

  1. Add Tomatoes and Olives: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced olives. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened.
  2. Add Feta: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top. Allow it to melt slightly.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Garnish: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
  2. Enjoy: Serve warm as a main dish, either on its own or with a side of sautéed greens.
