Description
This Easy 30-minute Mediterranean chicken recipe with olives and artichokes is a delicious option that combines flavor, simplicity, and nutrition.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and halved
- ½ cup green olives
- ½ cup Kalamata olives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry using paper towels; season evenly with salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the chicken breasts 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute; pour in chicken broth and dry white wine, scraping brown bits from the pan.
- Add artichoke hearts and olives to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes.
- Check chicken doneness (should read 165°F), then uncover and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to reduce the sauce. Garnish with parsley before serving.
Notes
Ensure chicken is uniformly thick for even cooking; consider pounding for consistency. Substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for added richness.
