Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare all the fresh ingredients for your Mediterranean Chicken Stir Fry by slicing the chicken, chopping the veggies, and mincing the garlic.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat and season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 6-8 minutes until golden brown, then set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, red onion, and garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until onion is translucent.
