Ingredients and Method

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts.
1 cup cherry tomatoes
½ cup black olives (pitted)
1 yellow bell pepper (chopped)
1 zucchini (sliced)
1 lemon (sliced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
fresh parsley for garnish

Method

Sear: Heat olive oil in the large hammered sauté pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear for 5–7 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
Sauté: In the same pan, add the peppers and zucchini. Cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.
Combine: Add the garlic, tomatoes, olives, and lemon slices. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
Simmer: Place the chicken back into the pan, nestling it among the vegetables. Cover with the lid and simmer on medium-low for 8–10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Finish: Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of extra lemon juice.
