Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 medium zucchini sliced into half-moons
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1.5 cups corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil torn
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese crumbled (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Toss the chicken with 1 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken in a single layer until golden and cooked through, 6-7 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet, then add the zucchini and bell peppers. Sauté until just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the corn, cherry tomatoes, and garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, add the lemon juice, and toss everything together. Cook 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and feta if using. Serve immediately.
