Preparation
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process for the Mediterranean Chicken Stir Fry. Chop the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and prepare your vegetables: slice the zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the chopped chicken and season with salt and black pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it turns golden brown and is cooked through with no pink remaining.
- In the same skillet, add a splash more olive oil if necessary, then toss in the diced red onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Next, incorporate the zucchini and bell peppers into the skillet. Stir-fry the veggies for 4-5 minutes, allowing them to soften and retain their vibrant colors while still maintaining a slight crunch.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle in the sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, basil, and thyme, adjusting the salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the mixture for that zesty kick and mix everything together. Toss in the Kalamata olives and feta cheese, ensuring even distribution.
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the dish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added color and a burst of freshness.
- Serve your Mediterranean Chicken Stir Fry hot, either alone or over a bed of warm quinoa or brown rice to create a filling and satisfying meal.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. For best flavor, enjoy it fresh but leftover stir fry makes for a delicious lunch option.
