Ingredients

Scale

Proteins and Fats

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (red or green)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Others

  • 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

  1. Cook Ground Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Bell Pepper and Spices: Stir in the chopped bell pepper, dried oregano, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bell pepper softens slightly.
  4. Incorporate Tomatoes and Olives: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced Kalamata olives to the skillet. Mix well and allow the tomatoes to cook down for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the mixture and let it melt slightly into the skillet.
  6. Finish with Parsley and Lemon: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice.
  7. Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the Mediterranean keto skillet warm.

Notes

  • Use ground chicken breast for a leaner option.
  • Kalamata olives add a distinctive salty tang; substitute with other black olives if unavailable.
  • To keep it keto-friendly, avoid adding starchy vegetables or sugars.
  • Serve alone or with a side of cauliflower rice for a complete keto meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
