Ingredients
1
pound
boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 equal portions
2
Tablespoons
olive oil
1
teaspoon
Himalayan pink salt
½
teaspoon
ground black pepper
1
teaspoon
dried basil
1
teaspoon
dried oregano
5
ounces
sun-dried tomatoes
8 ounce jar drained and roughly chopped
8
ounces
artichoke hearts
12 ounce jar or can drained and roughly chopped
4
cups
baby spinach
¼
cup
sliced, black olives
¼
cup
crumbled feta
sliced fresh basil or parsley
Instructions
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook until they start to soften, about 3 or 4 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook stirring constantly for an additional minute.
Mix the salt, pepper, oregano and basil together in a small bowl.
Sprinkle half of the spice mixture over the chicken breasts.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet, sprinkle with the remaining seasoning and cook for 5 minutes.
Flip the chicken over and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Add the artichokes, tomatoes, lemon juice and zest.
Wiggle the vegetables down into the crevices. Add the spinach leaves, again stirring to get it down into the skillet.
Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes, and the chicken is cooked through. (165 degrees)
Serve garnished with sliced olives, feta cheese and chopped fresh basil.
Notes
Substitute 1 1/2 cups diced, fresh tomatoes for the sun-dried if desired.
If you like things spicy, add crushed red pepper flakes to the seasoning.
Substitute chopped Italian Parsley if fresh Basil is not available.
For Whole30 & Paleo omit the Feta cheese. Sprinkle with Nutritional Dry Yeast for a cheesy flavor.
