Step-by-Step Instructions
- Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels, then season it generously with salt, black pepper, and half of the dried oregano. Let it rest for about 5 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breast gently to the pan, cooking for 5-6 minutes until golden-brown, flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and lower the heat. Toss in minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Introduce diced red bell pepper and sliced yellow squash to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until softened but still crunchy.
- Stir in halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes to release their juices.
- Return the seared chicken to the skillet, fold in fresh spinach, remaining oregano, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until spinach wilts and everything is heated through.
- Remove from heat, zest a lemon over the stir fry, taste and season with extra salt and pepper. Serve hot on its own or over rice or couscous.
