INGREDIENTS
4 chicken fillets, about 1 kilogram
1 kilogram cherry tomatoes, red or mixed colors
6 small bell peppers of various colors
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 lemon, zest and juice of half
1/3 bunch of parsley
1/2 bunch of basil
3 sprigs of thyme
salt, pepper, oregano
100ml olive oil
a little feta cheese for serving, or any cheese you like (optional)
METHOD
1. Season the chicken fillets with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan over high heat and sear the fillets until they have a nice color on both sides. Remove them without fully cooking, just to get some color.
3. In the same pan, add the onion, garlic, thyme, and sauté for 2 minutes until they become translucent. Then add the cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, basil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Sauté for 2 minutes, then return the chicken fillets to the pan. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through. If desired, add 5 more minutes before the end with 150 grams of whole cherry tomatoes.
4. Serve topped with feta cheese, fresh basil leaves, olive oil, and freshly ground pepper.
Enjoy your meal!
