  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

  3. Cook the chicken, stirring often, until it’s lightly golden and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the sliced red onion, bell peppers, and zucchini; sauté until the vegetables soften but still retain some crunch.
  6. Stir in the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes and cook for another minute.
  7. Return the chicken to the pan, add the olives, and squeeze the lemon juice over the mixture.
  8. Toss everything together just until heated through, then remove from heat and serve warm.
