Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

Four 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for searing
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons minced shallots (about 1 small)
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 teaspoons finely sliced fresh basil, optional
1 small clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, if needed
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons minced shallots (about 1/2 small)
1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1/2 cup chicken broth (store-bought or homemade)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil and chives, for garnish, optional
Chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil and chives, for garnish, optional
Winter Greens Salad, recipe follows, for serving, optional
1 cup wild arugula leaves
1 cup torn frisee leaves
1 cup thinly sliced radicchio (about 1/4 head)
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Using a meat mallet, evenly pound the chicken breast halves between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to 1/4-inch thickness. Put the chicken into a heavy resealable bag or 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add the oil, parsley, shallots and garlic; sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and mix in the bag or toss in the baking dish until the chicken is coated in the marinade. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Using tongs, remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing the oil to drain. (It's ok if some of the garlic and shallots still cling to the chicken.) Discard the marinade.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large (12- to 14-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the chicken breasts, 2 at a time, being sure to space them out in the skillet. (Avoid over-crowding, or you won't get a good sear.) Sear until light golden on the first side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and sear on the other side until the chicken is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Cook the remaining 2 chicken breasts, adding another tablespoon of oil if needed. Reserve the skillet for the sauce.
  • For the pan sauce: In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil if using and the garlic; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Pour out all but 2 tablespoons oil from the skillet. If the skillet is dry and more oil is needed, add about 2 tablespoons. Over medium heat, add the olives and shallots and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook, scraping up any browned bits in the skillet. Whisk in the chicken broth and any pan juices the chicken released on the platter and bring to a simmer. Cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Stir in the mustard, add the seasoned tomatoes and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Spoon the sauce over the chicken on the platter, garnish with chopped herbs if using and serve immediately with the Winter Greens Salad on the side if desired.
  • Put the arugula, frisee and radicchio into a salad bowl and toss to combine. Drizzle the vinegar over the greens and toss until coated; drizzle the oil over the top and toss again. Add the cheese, season with salt and pepper and toss until well combined. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND FETA



Chicken with Tomatoes and Feta image

A quick tomato sauce makes a delectable base for baked chicken breasts in this weeknight skillet supper.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped (3 cups)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
Salt
4 ounces feta, crumbled (1/2 cup)
Fresh dill, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large skillet heat oil over high. Add onion and garlic and saute until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until tomatoes break down, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Season chicken with salt and add to skillet. Transfer to oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 17 minutes. Heat broiler. Sprinkle feta over chicken and broil until feta is softened and browned in spots, 2 minutes. Sprinkle with dill for serving.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan with high sides to prevent splattering.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering before adding the chicken. This will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese to the pan and cook until the tomatoes are softened and the feta cheese is melted.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately over rice, pasta, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

This sautéed chicken with tomatoes, olives, and feta is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The chicken is seared until golden brown and then cooked in a flavorful sauce made with tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese.
