Mediterranean Chicken Recipe

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

4 boneless, (skinless chicken breasts)

2 tablespoons minced garlic or garlic paste

Kosher salt

Black pepper

1 tablespoon dried oregano, (divided)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 large lemon, (juiced)

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 medium red onion, (finely chopped)

4 small tomatoes, (diced, about 1 1/2 cups)

1/4 cup sliced green olives

Handful of fresh parsley, (stems removed, leaves chopped)

Crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Directions

Prep the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry. Make three shallow slits on each side of the chicken breast.

Season the chicken: Rub the garlic on both sides of the chicken, pushing some garlic into the slits you made. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper and 1/2 of the dried oregano.

Sear the chicken: In a large cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil on medium-high. Sear the chicken on both sides, then add the white wine and reduce by half.

Braise the chicken: Add the lemon juice and chicken broth. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oregano on top and turn the heat to medium. Cover with a lid or tightly with foil. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on one side, then turn the chicken over and cook for 5 to 6 additional minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.

Finish the chicken and serve: Uncover and top with chopped onions, tomatoes and olives. Cover again and cook for 3 minutes. Finish with the parsley and feta cheese (if using). Enjoy!
