Chicken with artichokes in a frying pan topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts weighing 170-220 g each.
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 package (250g) frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and patted dry
- 1 small red onion, sliced into wedges
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3/4 cup lightly salted chicken broth
- 1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta
- 1/4 cup chopped Peppadew peppers + 2 teaspoons brine from a jar or canned roasted peppers
Preparation:
- Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a frying pan until 1 cm thick. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, 4-5 minutes; flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, another 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Wipe out the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil; when hot, add the artichoke hearts and red onion and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown in spots, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, another 2 minutes.
Note
If you can't find frozen artichoke hearts, use canned ones.
- Add garlic and oregano and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
- Return the chicken to the pan, add the broth and olives. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, crumbled feta, peppers, and drizzle with the brine.
