Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 2 cups baby Bella mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the chicken by patting the breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir and cook for 5-6 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to release their moisture and the tomatoes to soften.
Step 5
Pour in the dry white wine and chicken broth. Stir in the dried oregano and red pepper flakes, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce the liquid.
Step 6
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the tomato-olive-mushroom mixture over the chicken.
Step 7
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until it is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Step 8
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread, rice, or your favorite side dish.
