Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives halved
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the garlic, cherry tomatoes, olives, oregano, and red pepper flakes, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the vegetables, pouring in any juices that accumulated.
  7. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes on low heat, then sprinkle with feta cheese and parsley before serving.

Notes

Best served fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop for the best texture, keeping the chicken moist.
