Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 can artichoke hearts, quartered (canned or jarred, drained)
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden 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. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften slightly.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for added flavor.
Add the artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, and dried oregano. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to reheat the chicken and meld the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle lemon juice over the dish. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for garnish.
Serve hot with your choice of side, such as rice, quinoa, or crusty bread.
