This Mediterranean Chicken Skillet recipe is a simple and healthy family meal that is bursting with flavors. Tender chicken breasts are cooked to perfection and served in a creamy, tangy sauce with artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1.5 pound chicken breast (cut in half on lengthwise to cook faster)
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Sauce:

  • 8 ounces can of roasted artichoke hearts (drained)
  • 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons capers (drained)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any other milk)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Lightly coat each piece of the 1.5 pound chicken breast with the seasoned flour.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. If needed, cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Set aside on a plate and cover to keep warm.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk the other 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour with the 1 cup almond milk until no visible lumps.
  4. Cook the Sauce: To the same preheated skillet, add the 8 ounces can of roasted artichoke hearts together with the 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes and 3 tablespoons capers. Sauté for about 2 minutes, then add the milk mixture to the pan and the 2 tablespoons lemon juice and whisk well to combine.
  5. Combine and Serve: Once the sauce starts to thicken, return the chicken to the pan. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes, until hot. Serve warm garnished with 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley.
