Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup capers, drained
- 1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season chicken breast halves with salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, dried rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder, rubbing the seasonings evenly on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, sliced Kalamata olives, and drained capers. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Deglaze the skillet with white wine (or chicken broth), scraping up any browned bits. Allow wine to reduce slightly.
- Stir in chicken broth and lemon juice. Return cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning sauce and Mediterranean mixture over the top.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
- Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve hot, with Mediterranean mixture and sauce spooned over the chicken breasts.
