Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mediterranean Chicken Skillet Meal.
Step 1
To start, grab a small bowl and mix together half a teaspoon of oregano, a quarter teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of salt to your liking.
Step 2
This flavorful blend will be the perfect seasoning for your chicken breasts, so sprinkle it evenly over them.
Step 3
Next, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the chicken in the skillet, seasoned-side down.
Step 5
Cover the skillet and let it cook for about six minutes, allowing the chicken to develop a beautiful golden-brown crust.
Step 6
After six minutes, flip the chicken over and add two lemon slices on top of each breast for a burst of citrusy flavor.
Step 7
Cover the skillet again and cook for another six minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 8
Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it loosely to keep it warm and juicy.
Step 9
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat.
Step 10
Toss in the sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic, stirring constantly for about a minute until fragrant.
Step 11
Now, stir in the rice and chicken stock, along with the remaining half teaspoon of oregano and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 12
Gradually add the spinach, gently stirring until it wilts and adds a lovely green color to the dish.
Step 13
Finally, nestle the chicken breasts back into the skillet, allowing them to soak up all those delicious flavors.
Step 14
If you’re feeling a bit fancy, sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese and toasted pine nuts on top before serving.
Step 15
This dish is not just a meal; it’s a delightful experience that brings warmth and comfort to your table.
Step 16
Enjoy every bite!.
