Featuring The Mediterranean Keto Skillet Meal with Cheese Recipe

Ingredients:

1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, chopped

1 bell pepper, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken pieces and cook until they're browned and cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Add the sliced bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the halved cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives. Stir everything together.

Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and pepper over the ingredients in the skillet. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is heated through.

Just before serving, crumble the feta cheese on top of the skillet meal.

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for added flavor and color.
