  • 1 pound ground chicken Can substitute with ground turkey or beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 piece bell pepper, chopped Red or green
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the bell pepper, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bell pepper softens slightly.
  5. Add the cherry tomatoes and olives to the skillet. Mix well and allow the tomatoes to cook down for about 5 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the mixture and let it melt slightly into the skillet.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.

Notes

Enhance flavor by adding a splash of balsamic vinegar for a tangy kick. Customize with your favorite vegetables, like zucchini or spinach. Serve with warm, crusty keto bread to soak up every delicious bite.
