Print Recipe

A vibrant and delicious one-pan dish featuring chicken, cherry tomatoes, olives, and aromatic spices that brings a taste of the Mediterranean to your table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients. Start by gathering your ingredients. It’s always helpful to have everything chopped and ready to go.
  2. Sear the chicken. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large oven-proof skillet. Add the chicken breasts, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Let them sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side.
  3. Add the aromatics. When your chicken is golden, add the sliced red onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent.
  4. Stir in tomatoes and olives. Toss in halved cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives, followed by the dried oregano. Mix gently.
  5. Season and squeeze. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the dish and stir to incorporate the flavors.
  6. Bake to perfection. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer your skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
  7. Serve and savor. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with chickpeas or roasted vegetables. Adjust seasoning according to your taste.
