Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground chicken or chopped chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup pitted olives (Kalamata or green), sliced

Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and chop the garlic, tomatoes, and olives. Having everything ready makes the cooking process seamless.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a spatula for even cooking.
