Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced into thin strips Slice across the grain for tender bites
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli) Frozen mixed vegetables can be used
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 Juice of lemon
  • to taste Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the sliced chicken in a single layer. Let it brown undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes, then stir and continue cooking until no pink remains, about 5 to 7 minutes total.
  3. Push the chicken to the side of the skillet or remove it to a plate.
  4. Add the minced garlic and the mixed vegetables to the pan. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender-crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the juice of 1 lemon. Stir everything together so the lemon and pan juices coat the chicken and vegetables.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then turn off the heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
