Description
A quick and flavorful Mediterranean keto skillet with ground chicken, olives, tomatoes, and feta—perfect for an easy low-carb 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)
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 browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
3. Stir in cherry tomatoes, olives, oregano, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook 3–4 minutes until tomatoes soften.
4. Add spinach and cook until just 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 provides a milder taste—both work well.
To make this dairy-free, substitute feta with a dairy-free alternative or omit it.
