Method
Preparation
- Slice chicken into 1/2-inch strips, chop bell peppers, slice zucchini, thinly slice red onion, halve cherry tomatoes, mince garlic, chop parsley, and juice the lemon.
Cooking
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add chicken in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, and half the oregano. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes to get a good sear. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes until no longer pink. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan. Add garlic and red onion. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
- Add bell peppers and zucchini. Stir occasionally and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until vegetables are tender but still have a bit of crunch. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 more minute until they begin to soften.
- Return the chicken to the pan. Sprinkle smoked paprika and the remaining oregano. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon juice over everything and stir to combine. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, stir gently, and serve immediately.
