Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup Marinated artichoke hearts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 piece Red bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized strips. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the skillet and season with oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper strips and cook for 3 minutes, until they begin to soften.

Step 7

Stir in the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and marinated artichoke hearts. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to release their juices.

Step 8

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the stir fry.

Step 11

If desired, top with crumbled feta cheese for added creaminess and tang.

Step 12

Serve the Mediterranean Chicken and Artichoke Stir Fry warm with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
