Description

A zesty and savory one-pan dish featuring tender chicken, briny olives, and artichoke hearts in a bright lemon and herb sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in lemon juice, zest, and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, add artichoke hearts and olives. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce has slightly thickened.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
