Instructions

Prep all ingredients: chop veggies, halve tomatoes, pit and halve olives, and cut chicken into bite-size pieces.
Season chicken with salt, pepper, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1 tsp olive oil. Let sit 5 minutes.
Heat 1.5 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in one layer. Sear until golden and cooked through, about 4–6 minutes, turning once. Remove chicken to a plate.
Add remaining 1.5 tbsp olive oil to the pan. Sauté onion and garlic 2 minutes until soft.
Add zucchini and bell peppers. Cook for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Stir in cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and remaining oregano, basil, and thyme. Cook for 2 minutes.
Return chicken to the pan. Toss everything together and cook for 1–2 minutes to combine flavors.
Add lemon juice and taste. Adjust salt and pepper. Sprinkle with feta and fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Serve hot over rice, quinoa, or with warm pita bread. For extra flavor, marinate and grill the chicken before cooking.
