1 tbsp olive oil

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 zucchini, sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.

Season the diced chicken with salt, pepper, and half of the oregano and basil.

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.

3. Cook the Pasta

Add the dry pasta to the skillet, followed by the chicken broth. Stir everything to combine, making sure the pasta is mostly submerged in the liquid.

Bring to a simmer, cover the skillet, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid has mostly absorbed.

4. Finish the Dish

Once the pasta is cooked, return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.

Add the olives, remaining oregano and basil, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top and allow it to melt slightly.

5. Serve

Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, then serve hot!
