Ingredients for the Mediterranean chicken recipe
- 4 boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 chopped shallot
- 2 cups of cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- ½ cup dry white wine
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 chopped roasted red bell pepper
- 1 cup of chopped marinated artichoke hearts
- ½ cup of halved Kalamata olives
- 1 tablespoon each of chopped fresh thyme and parsley
- ½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
- Lemon wedges
Steps to follow for the Mediterranean chicken recipe
Heat the olive oil in a big skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Sprinkle generously on both sides of the chicken breast with some salt and freshly ground pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in the heated oil and cook until the first side is beautifully browned about 4-5 minutes. Cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees in the thickest portion. To keep the chicken breast warm you can put it in a bowl and cover it with aluminum foil.
Cook for 3 minutes, or until the shallot begins to soften.
Bring the wine to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 1 minute.
Chicken broth can be used instead of wine if you don’t want to or don’t have any. You might want to add a splash of lemon juice towards the end.
Cook for 1 minute, or until the tomatoes blister, burst, and release some of their juices.
Cook, stirring constantly until all of the ingredients are well cooked (except the lemon wedges).
Replace the chicken in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through to the pan temperature, spooning the pan juices over the chicken.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Conclusion
Lastly, serve with lemon slices on the side.
