Description
A healthy, flavorful dinner that comes together in one pan in about thirty minutes. This Mediterranean Keto Ground Chicken Skillet features briny olives, creamy feta, and fragrant oregano for a satisfying low-carb meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, any color, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and cook for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, and smoked paprika, and cook for one more minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in half of the crumbled feta and all of the fresh parsley. Season generously with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Divide the skillet mixture among plates and top with the remaining feta cheese.
Notes
Smart Substitutions: Ground chicken can be replaced with ground turkey or lean ground beef. For dairy-free, omit feta or use vegan alternative. Green olives can substitute for Kalamata olives. Add spinach or zucchini in the last few minutes for extra vegetables.
