Mediterranean Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Artichokes

Mediterranean Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Artichokes, and Capers – a one skillet recipe. Easy to make, 30 minutes from start to finish! You’ll love the play of flavors in this dish.

One of the main reasons I love Mediterranean cuisine is, of course, my passion for pasta, but in this case it’s not about pasta. It’s all about the chicken. With lots of vegetables and olive oil.

Cooking Tips:

• In this recipe, I use thinly sliced boneless and skinless chicken breasts. If you have large chicken breasts, you can slice each one of them lengthwise in half to make them thinner.
• I used roasted artichoke hearts in olive oil.  I also used sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, too.  In this case, I didn’t even drain them to get rid of excess oil, because the more olive oil in this recipe, the better.  If you use artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes that are not in a jar with olive oil, definitely add extra olive oil, if you wish.

It’s always a challenge not to overcook chicken breasts, and in this Mediterranean-style recipe your chicken will be moist, tender, and very flavorful!

How to make Mediterranean chicken:

1) First, season the chicken with salt and pepper and coat with flour.

2) Next, sear the chicken in olive oil for about 4 minutes on each side.

3) Then, remove the chicken from the skillet. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, and capers with lemon juice and extra olive oil to the skillet and stir together.

4) Add the chicken back and cook for about 5-10 more minutes until the chicken is completely cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Your Mediterranean chicken is ready!  Yes, in 30 minutes! Easy, no fuss dinner that tastes good and looks good. I used gluten free flour for coating the chicken which makes this recipe gluten free!
