# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one pan, so cleanup is as easy as the cooking itself.
  • The briny olives and tangy feta create layers of flavor that make plain chicken taste anything but boring.
  • Its keto-friendly and low-carb, but tastes indulgent enough that no one will notice.
  • You can have this on the table in thirty minutes, even on your most chaotic evenings.
02 -
  • Dont skip the lemon juice at the end, it transforms the dish from good to cant-stop-eating.
  • If your feta is too salty, rinse it briefly under cold water before crumbling.
  • Ground chicken can dry out fast, so dont overcook it during the browning stage.
03 -
  • Let the chicken brown undisturbed for a minute or two before stirring, it builds better flavor.
  • Taste before serving and adjust the salt, olives and feta can vary in saltiness.
  • If you want a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when you add the oregano.
