Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Sauté minced garlic for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives to the skillet, stirring to combine.

Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, then stir in the dried oregano and thyme. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2–3 minutes.

Step 9

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetable mixture.

Step 10

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the chicken and vegetables.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 12

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.
