Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb ground chicken
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper (red or green), chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Juice of half a lemon
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it up, until browned, 6–8 minutes.
- Stir in onion and garlic; cook 2–3 minutes until translucent.
- Add bell pepper, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook 3–4 minutes to soften peppers and bloom spices.

- Sprinkle feta over top and let it soften slightly.
- Remove from heat and finish with parsley and lemon juice.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving warm.
Notes
Swap in ground turkey or beef if preferred.
Add spinach or zucchini for more veggies.
Make it dairy-free by omitting feta and finishing with extra olives and olive oil.
Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
