04 -
1 bell pepper, diced (choose red or green)
05 -
Salt and pepper as needed
06 -
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
08 -
1 clove garlic, minced
09 -
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

1 cup sliced Kalamata olives (pitted)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Juice from half of a lemon
# Instructions:
01 -
Warm up a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Toss in the ground chicken and break it into smaller pieces while cooking, until it’s browned—takes about 6-8 minutes.
02 -
Add the diced onion and fresh garlic to the pan. Stir it around and let it cook until the onion turns a bit see-through, around 2-3 minutes.
03 -
Throw in the diced bell pepper, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir it all together and let it cook for roughly 3-4 minutes, until the peppers soften a little.
04 -
Pour in the cherry tomatoes and olives. Stir everything together and let the tomatoes soften for around 5 minutes.
05 -
Scatter the crumbled feta on top and let it warm up a bit so it softens into the dish.
06 -
Once off the heat, add the fresh parsley and drizzle the lemon juice over everything. Mix gently.
07 -
Give it a taste to see if it needs more salt or pepper, then serve while it’s still warm.
