Enjoy a quick and tasty meal with Skillet Chicken with Artichokes and Sun Dried Tomatoes. This dish features juicy chicken fillets cooked to perfection, paired with crispy artichokes, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and a hint of lemon.
Slice and season both sides of the chicken breast using kosher salt and pepper. This simple step enhances the flavor of the chicken. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add the fried artichokes, stirring occasionally until they become fragrant and lightly crisped for around 10 minutes.
Add the sun dried tomatoes and capers. Next add lemon juice, stirring occasionally until they become fragrant and lightly crisped, about 2-3 minutes. This adds brightness and a bit of briny tang to the dish.
Plate the chicken fillets artichoke and sun dried tomato mixture. Serve warm and enjoy the layers of flavor!
Notes
Cut Chicken Evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the chicken fillet into similar-sized pieces. This helps all pieces cook at the same rate and keeps the chicken juicy.Drain The Capers Well: Excess liquid from the capers can dilute the flavor. Pat them dry before adding to the pan to keep the dish rich and flavorful.Use High-Quality Olive Oil: A good-quality olive oil will enhance the Mediterranean flavors in the dish and give it a fragrant finish.
