Steps for Preparing Mediterranean Chicken Breast
To prepare the Mediterranean chicken breast, start by washing the cherry tomatoes under water, then cut them in half on a cutting board using a knife.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat, and add the garlic cloves. Sauté until golden and soft, about 2 minutes. Then remove them and add the cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, and pine nuts. Stir well with a wooden spoon and let cook for about 5 minutes, until the sauce begins to slightly reduce.
Use thinly sliced chicken breasts to get uniform scaloppine that cook quickly. I recommend buying them fresh from your trusted butcher, not from intensive farming.
Then coat them in flour, and add them to the sauce when it has reached a desired consistency and brown them a few minutes per side. Then drizzle with a glass of white wine and cook for another 5 minutes with a lid.
Once cooked, serve the chicken scaloppine with the sauce generously poured over, perhaps accompanied by sides like roasted potatoes, rice, or grilled vegetables and…
enjoy your meal from Barbara!
