Instructions

1
Cook the rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with half of the salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Sauté the onion for 2 minutes, then add garlic, bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook for 4-5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
4
Stir in the diced tomatoes, herbes de Provence, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
5
Return the chicken to the skillet, add olives, and simmer everything together for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with remaining salt and pepper.
6
To serve, divide rice between bowls. Top each with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
