👩🍳 Instructions
1
Pat chicken pieces dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Prepare all vegetables as directed. In a small bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary). Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate and set aside.
3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan. Add sliced bell peppers and red onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened but still crisp.
4
Add halved cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives to the pan. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until tomatoes begin to soften.
5
Return cooked chicken to the pan. Add fresh spinach and pour the prepared Greek-inspired sauce over everything. Toss gently for 1-2 minutes, until spinach wilts and ingredients are coated and heated through.
6
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve immediately on its own, or with quinoa, brown rice, or pita bread. Garnish with fresh parsley or crumbled feta if desired.
💡 Notes
Feel free to swap chicken with shrimp or firm tofu for a different protein. Zucchini or yellow squash can be added with the bell peppers. This stir-fry is excellent for meal prep and reheats well throughout the week. Ensure chicken is patted dry for best browning.
