Delicious Mediterranean Chicken Skillet Recipe: A Hearty One-Pan Meal

Step 1

Mix a delightful blend of oregano and pepper in a bowl, and if desired, a pinch of salt can be added. Gently coat the chicken with this seasoning mix.

Step 2

In a skillet, warm up a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Place the seasoned chicken in the pan, allowing it to sear for around 6 minutes until it turns a lovely golden brown. Flip the chicken over and place two refreshing lemon slices on each breast. Cover and cook for another 6 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and loosely cover to retain its warmth.

Step 3

Using the same skillet, heat up another tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Sauté sun-dried tomatoes and garlic for a minute, stirring constantly. Then, add rice, chicken stock, the remaining oregano, and pepper to the skillet. Slowly incorporate the spinach, gently stirring until it wilts. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet and sprinkle with cheese and pine nuts for an extra burst of flavor.
