Method
Cooking
- In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions become translucent.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the rinsed rice and stir everything to combine.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), lemon juice, and 2 cups of water. Stir well, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- After the rice has cooked, gently fold in the sliced olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Fluff the rice with a fork, and serve warm. Garnish with additional feta and parsley if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to one month. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water to revive moisture.
