Instructions

Prep Ingredients: Start by chopping everything! Get those chicken pieces cut, and slice the vegetables. Having everything ready makes the cooking process a breeze.
Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil. Toss in the red onion and garlic first, letting them sauté until they are fragrant and slightly translucent. Then, add the zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes, cooking until just tender.
Combine Everything: Add the cooked chicken back into the pan, along with the sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, basil, thyme, and Kalamata olives. Toss everything together and allow the flavors to meld for about 2 minutes.
Finish with Flavor: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mix, give it a final toss, and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top. Time to serve!
