Skillet Sicilian Chicken 🍗🌿 Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tbsp Olive oil

  • 1 Onion (thinly sliced) & 4 cloves Garlic (minced)

  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)

  • ½ cup Black olives (sliced)

  • ½ cup Artichoke hearts (quartered)

  • 2 tbsp Capers (optional, but highly recommended!)

  • ½ cup Chicken broth

  • 1 tsp Oregano, salt, pepper, & red pepper flakes

  • Fresh basil/parsley & Lemon wedges

INSTRUCTIONS: 1️⃣ Sear: Season chicken with salt, pepper, and oregano. Sear in olive oil over medium-high heat for 3-4 mins per side until golden. Remove chicken and set aside. 2️⃣ Sauté: In the same pan, sauté onions until soft. Add garlic for 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes, olives, artichokes, and capers. 3️⃣ Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to get all those flavorful browned bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 mins. 4️⃣ Finish: Return chicken to the pan. Cover and cook for 5-7 mins until chicken is cooked through (165°F/74°C). 5️⃣ Serve: Top with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon.

Serve over pasta, rice, or with a thick slice of bread! YUMM! 😋

💡 Pro-Tip for the Chef

For an even richer sauce, stir in a tablespoon of cold butter or a splash of heavy cream right at the end after you remove the pan from the heat. It gives the sauce a silky, restaurant-quality finish!
