    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    If you are looking for a healthy dump-and-go meal, this Mediterranean Chicken Skillet is it. The only time-consuming part of this is cooking the chicken, but after that's complete, you add the remaining ingredients, let it all meld, and serve it right up.

    Ingredients

    Meat: For this recipe, I used Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts.

    Vegetables: You'll need Cherry Tomatoes, Marinated Artichoke Hearts, Pitted Kalamata Olives, Jarred Deli Sliced Roasted Red Bell Peppers, and a Yellow Onion.

    Liquids: All you'll need is Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

    Herbs and Spices: Dried Oregano, Bried Basil, Dried Parsley, Dried Thyme, Ground Savory, and Kosher Salt.

    See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Begin by Butterflying the chicken breasts and then pound then out to be thin and even. Then, season the chicken with Olive oil, Oregano, Basil, Parsley, Thyme, and Savory. Once the chicken breasts are well seasoned, grill them at about 500°f until they have reached an internal temp 165°.

    Lastly, I slice the chicken into strips and begin working on the rest of the mixture.

    Whole cherry tomatoes and onions cooking in a cast iron skillet.

    In a 12" cast iron skillet, begin by heating about half a cup of Extra virgin Olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion, sautéing until it softens and becomes translucent.

    Increase the heat to medium and add the cherry tomatoes. When the tomatoes are starting to blister on the outside, they can easily be smashed. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, smash some of the tomatoes. I normally smash about half of them, leaving some other whole.

    Sliced grilled strips of chicken being added to a cast iron skillet full of cherry tomatoes and diced onions.

    Add the Mediterranean grilled strips of chicken and stir them into the tomato and onion mixture.

    Kalamata olives and artichoke hearts added to cast iron skillet with tomatoes and onions.

    Dump the kalamata olives and artichoke hearts in, stirring to combine evenly.

    Roasted red bell pepper strips added to a cast iron skillet full of chicken and vegetables.

    Lastly, add the roasted red bell pepper, giving it all another good stir.

    Reduce the heat to low and simmer until ready to serve.

    Expert Tips

    • This one-pan Mediterranean chicken recipe can be served by itself and hold its own, but I love it with some couscous.
    • I like to smash some of the tomatoes but not all of them. This will add amazing flavors and texture. Just be aware that eating tomatoes that have not been smashed can be very hot.
    • Drain the olives and artichokes but not the roasted red peppers.
