This quick and easy meal is ready in under 30 minutes. Its basically a deconstructed version of one of the most popular Greek pita sandwiches, the chicken souvlaki. My version is low-carb but, you can always serve it alongside warm pita bread or over rice or even buttery pasta. A quick and easy meal full of Mediterranean flavor!

Serves 4:

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thigh meat, cubed
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 bell peppers, diced
3 garlic cloves, grated
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
8-10 pitted Kalamata olives, whole or sliced
3-4 oz. Halloumi cheese, cubed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons dried crushed oregano
teaspoon ground cumin powder
teaspoon lemon zest
Juice of a small lemon
Serve with tzatziki and lemon wedges

Optional vegetables:
Mushrooms
Zucchini
Eggplant
Spinach

Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, until golden all around and fully cooked. A meat thermometer inserted in the center of the chicken will register 165 F when cooked. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add onions and peppers to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly soft.
Add garlic and warm through 30 seconds.
Place the chicken back into the pan along with the Halloumi, tomatoes, lemon zest, and the spices. Mix to incorporate and cook for 4 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft.
Stir in the lemon juice and serve.
