    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!

    Ingredients

    • 1.5 lb chicken breast (thinly sliced)
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • ¼ cup flour (you can use gluten free flour)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 8 oz roasted artichoke hearts (drained)
    • 6 oz sun-dried tomatoes
    • 3 tablespoons capers (drained)
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil

    Instructions 

    • Season chicken with salt and pepper.  On a large plate, dredge chicken in flour. 
    • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. 
    • Add chicken and brown for about 4 minutes until it turns nice golden color. Flip the chicken over to the other side and brown the other side for about 4 minutes on medium heat.  
    • Remove the chicken to the plate.
    • Add artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and lemon juice to the same skillet.  Stir to combine, on medium heat.  Reduce heat to medium-low.  Add 2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil, stir in to combine.  
    • Push the vegetables to the sides of the skillet, and add the chicken back.  
    • Cook the chicken and the vegetables on low-medium heat for about 5-10 more minutes, covered, until the chicken is completely cooked through and no longer pink in the center. 
    • Depending on your stove, you might have to cook either on medium or on medium-low heat to cook the chicken through.
    • Serve immediately.  Make sure to spoon the olive oil mixture of vegetables from the skillet over the chicken.

      Delicious. Prepared this for dinner and added a little Parmesan on it before serving. Soooo good.
      I’ll definitely be making this again!

      I've made this many times now, and I've shared your recipe with a few people who "HAD" to have it. One thing I didn't see addressed in any of the comments is: can you freeze this dish?

        Wow, I’m so thrilled you’ve made this dish multiple times and shared it with others—thank you for spreading the love! 🙂 As for freezing, you absolutely can freeze it. Just place it in an airtight container or freezer bag, and it should be good for up to 2 months! When you’re ready to eat, thaw it overnight in the fridge and reheat gently to maintain its flavor and juiciness. 🙂

      This was a very tasty, easy to prepare and delicious meal. For the finishing touch I have finished the meal with some fresh parmesan cheese.

      Do you add the oil from artichoke ? And the oil from the sun dried tomatoes?

        The recipe says to use drained, artichokes and capers, but it doesn’t mention anything about the tomatoes

          Hi Kelly! The recipe uses sun-dried tomatoes (not fresh ones).

      I would like to make this for a crowd on Christmas- can this be made ahead of time in any way?

        You can make this ahead, just make sure not to overcook the chicken. Or, even better, use skinless, boneless chicken thighs as they don't dry out as much as breasts.
