Description

A rich and flavorful dish combining tender chicken with a creamy mushroom sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, and Kalamata olives.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme, divided
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano, divided
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes, plus more or less to taste
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, paprika, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and chili flakes. Dredge chicken in the mixture.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove to a plate.
  3. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet. Sauté garlic, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
  4. Pour in chicken stock, bring to a simmer, and scrape up browned bits. Stir in cream, remaining thyme, oregano, sea salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Return chicken to skillet, cover, and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve immediately, generously smothered in the creamy sauce.
