Instructions
Creating Mediterranean Chicken is simple and straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Marinate: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, and thyme. Pour this mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil if desired to prevent sticking.
4. Cook the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
5. Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil if desired before serving.
8. Serve: Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a serving platter, and enjoy!
