Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Chicken Breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for sautéing)
- 1 cup Red Bell Peppers (sliced)
- 1 cup Yellow Bell Peppers (sliced)
- 1 medium Red Onion (sliced)
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
- 2 cups Baby Spinach (washed)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)

- 1/2 cup Feta Cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked all the way through.
- Add the sliced red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers, and red onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
