Ingredients

See the ingredient checklist
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, from about 3 sprigs
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 4 tbsp oil from the sun-dried tomatoes, divided
  • 2 red onions, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 lemon, juiced, juice divided
  • 1/4 cup fresh green herbs, chopped oregano, chives, thyme or a mixture
  • drained capers or pitted olives, optional, for serving

Before you cook

The oil from the tomato jar goes into the skillet in two additions. A splash of water helps loosen onions that start sticking before they soften.

How to make Mediterranean Chicken with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

  1. Mix the flour, salt, thyme, pepper and paprika in a shallow dish. Lightly coat both sides of the chicken.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the tomato oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes, then move it to a plate.

  3. Add the remaining tomato oil and the red onions to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the onions soften and begin to caramelize, about 12 minutes. Stir in a tablespoon or two of water if the onions darken too quickly.

  4. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and garlic for about 1 minute. Pour in the wine, broth and half the lemon juice, then simmer, stirring often, until the liquid coats a spoon, about 10 minutes.

  5. Return the chicken to the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until the chicken is done throughout, about 7 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness.

  6. Off the heat, add the remaining lemon juice and the fresh herbs. Finish with capers or olives, if using.
