Time 30m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
¾ (8 ounce) can artichoke hearts in water, drained
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
¾ cup white wine
4 large roma tomatoes, quartered
6 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Dip the chicken breasts into the pepper mixture until well coated, then place the chicken on a baking dish.
  • Broil the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes on each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, artichoke hearts, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook and stir for about 6 minutes, then stir in the white wine. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the roma tomatoes; cook and still until the tomatoes are warmed through. Stir in the butter until it melts. Serve the sauce over the cooked chicken breast.

EASY TUSCAN CHICKEN AND FARRO SKILLET



Easy Tuscan Chicken and Farro Skillet image

Farro is a wonderful grain that imparts incredible texture in the one-skillet meal. I use cantanzaro herbs from the Savory Spice Shop® because they're a notch above simple Italian seasoning.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning, divided
1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups farro
1 pinch red pepper flakes
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
  • Season chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt; place in the hot skillet. Sear until golden but not cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
  • Add butter to the skillet. Add onion to melted butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions have caramelized, 5 to 6 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring, until mushrooms have softened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with remaining 1 teaspoon garlic salt and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning; stir until fragrant, another 30 seconds.
  • Add chicken broth and farro; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, add chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestling them into the vegetables. Cover skillet and simmer until farro has absorbed all the broth, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted and is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with remaining cheese, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your Tuscan chicken dish taste its best.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece plenty of space so that it can brown evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the heat.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Tuscan chicken pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Tuscan chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its simple ingredients and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give Tuscan chicken a try.
