Instructions

Prep Ingredients: Start by prepping all the ingredients. Chop the chicken, slice the vegetables, and measure out the spices.
Sear Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté onions, garlic, zucchini, and bell peppers until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, basil, and thyme. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Finishing Touches: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mix, add crumbled feta, and toss gently to combine. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for enhanced flavor and consider marinating the chicken before cooking for extra taste. Store leftovers in airtight containers.
