Description

A bright and briny one-pan chicken dish with lemon, artichokes, and olives — perfect for a quick yet impressive weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and halved
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped


Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in oregano.
  3. Return chicken to the skillet. Add artichoke hearts, olives, and lemon slices around the chicken. Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  4. Uncover, increase heat, and cook for 2–3 minutes until sauce slightly thickens. Garnish with parsley and serve.
