Directions
-
Heat the Olive Oil
Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm, which will help to create a tremendous foundation for the flavors to come. -
Cook the Ground Chicken
Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. This process should take around 6-8 minutes. You want to ensure that the chicken is well-cooked and has a nice color. -
Sauté the Aromatics
To the skillet, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, which should take about 2-3 minutes. The tremendous aroma will start to fill your kitchen, hinting at the deliciousness that’s to follow. -
Add Bell Pepper and Spices
Stir in the chopped bell pepper, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let these ingredients cook together for another 3-4 minutes until the bell pepper softens slightly, incorporating all those beautiful Mediterranean flavors. -
Incorporate Tomatoes and Olives
Next, add the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced olives to the skillet. Mix everything well and allow the tomatoes to cook down for about 5 minutes. The tomatoes will release their juices, creating a lovely sauce that enhances the dish. -
Sprinkle Feta
Once the mixture is well combined, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the skillet. Allow it to melt slightly into the dish, which adds both creaminess and flavor. -
Finish with Parsley and Lemon
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice. This final touch brings brightness and a fresh element that balances the richness of the dish perfectly. -
Taste and Serve
Give the dish a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve warm, and prepare to enjoy the tremendous flavors of the Mediterranean right in your home.
