There are other ways, but this is my own version of Mediterranean Chicken.
MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN
Ingredients
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-1/2 cup white wine, I like Pinot Grigio here
-3 or 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
-3 large cloves garlic, minced, or about two tablespoons
-1/2 cup diced onion
-3 cups tomatoes, chopped
-2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
-2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
-1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
-1/2 cup kalamata olives
-1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
-salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the white wine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and saute about 6 to 8 minutes each side, until golden. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside to cool.
Saute garlic in pan drippings for 30 seconds, then add onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and bring to a boil. Lower heat, add the remaining white wine and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes. Add thyme and basil and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Cut up the chicken. Return the pieces to the skillet and cover. Cook over low heat until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Add olives, Balsamic and parsley to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
You can add mushrooms if you like. Just clean them DRY (NO WATER!) and add them when you saute the onion. I have also tried adding a fruit to the dish, pineapple worked. So did cut up apples.
