Description
A quick and flavorful one-skillet Mediterranean keto dish featuring ground chicken, briny olives, sweet tomatoes, and creamy feta. Perfect for a low-carb weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1 cup baby spinach (or arugula)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional for smoky flavor)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
2. Add garlic and ground chicken. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula.
3. Stir in cherry tomatoes, olives, oregano, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until tomatoes soften.
4. Add spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley.
6. Top with crumbled feta and serve warm.
Notes
For extra richness, add a drizzle of tahini or a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.
Arugula adds a peppery flavor, while spinach gives a more neutral base—both work well.
To make this dairy-free, substitute feta with a dairy-free alternative or omit it altogether.
