Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning store-bought or homemade
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2½ tablespoons olive oil
- ½ yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper any color, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 pint Grape or Cherry Tomatoes halved
- 15.5 ounces canned white beans drained and rinsed (1 can)
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 ounces fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon capers
- fresh basil optional, for serving
- Lemon wedges optional, for serving
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add a bit more oil to the pan, then sauté onion and peppers for 3 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add in the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes blister, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the beans and chicken broth and allow the mixture to simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the spinach and capers and simmer until the spinach is wilted, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet and cook until it’s warmed through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve with fresh basil and lemon wedges.
Notes
- ¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
- ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Storage: Store Italian chicken skillet in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- Feel free to swap the Italian seasoning for your favorite seasoning blend.
- To make this dish spicy, add up to ¼ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
- You can use avocado, vegetable, or canola oil instead of olive oil.
- In place of the minced garlic, you can use ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder.
- You can use vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth.
- You can use chopped green olives in place of the capers.
- If your chicken breasts are unevenly thick, slice them into 4 thin cutlets instead to help them cook more evenly.
- Pat the chicken dry to help the seasoning adhere and to prevent oil splatters.
- Season the chicken well for the best flavor.
- Make sure the skillet isn't too hot; otherwise the chicken will be burnt on the outside and raw on the inside.
- Check the chicken for doneness with an instant-read thermometer. Properly cooked chicken should be 165°F at the thickest point.
- Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.
