Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Protein
  • 1 pound chicken breast, sliced
Veggies
  • 2 cups mixed bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Aromatics
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
Oil & Spices
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add sliced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic, bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Stir-fry for another 5–6 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  4. Season with 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, to meld flavors.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Slice the chicken thin and even so it cooks quickly and uniformly. Keep the pan hot but not smoking to get a nice sear without burning the garlic. Don’t overcook the zucchini and peppers; they should stay slightly crisp. Taste and adjust salt at the end, especially if adding salty toppings like feta. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out the chicken.
