Easiest Mediterranean Chicken Recipe

Mediterranean Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Artichokes, and Capers – a one skillet recipe. Easy to make, 30 minutes from start to finish! You’ll love the play of flavors in this dish.

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!
