Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken cutlets
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Artichoke hearts, quartered (canned or jarred, drained)
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken cutlets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, oregano, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Reduce the heat to low and return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetable mixture.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly on top of the chicken cutlets. Cover the skillet with a lid and let cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
Serve hot, pairing with a side of rice, pasta, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
