# How To Make It:

03 - Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn.
04 - Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 5–6 minutes until fully browned and cooked through.
05 - Mix in the red bell pepper and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

09 - Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot directly from the skillet.

# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one pan so you spend less time cleaning and more time eating
  • The combination of salty olives and creamy feta makes every bite feel like a treat
02 -
  • Don't rush browning the chicken properly or you'll miss the depth that comes from good caramelization
  • Let the finished dish rest covered for a few minutes off heat so the flavors can meld together
03 -
  • Pat the ground chicken dry with paper towels before cooking to get better browning
  • Let your skillet get properly hot before adding the chicken to prevent steaming
