Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cups baby spinach
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and paprika.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of oregano to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until wilted.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetables. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken and meld the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley over the dish.
Serve the Greek Style Chicken Skillet warm, either on its own or with crusty bread, rice, or quinoa on the side.
