Cooking Instructions
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel, then season them lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Add the chicken to the hot pan in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through; then remove and set aside.
- Add a bit more olive oil if needed, then sauté the Mediterranean vegetable blend for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables and pour in the 1/2 cup of Mediterranean dressing.
- Toss everything together to coat evenly and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce heats through and thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately, optionally with couscous, quinoa, or warm pita bread.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a tablespoon of the Mediterranean dressing for 15-30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of dressing to your taste preference.
