Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat about two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Salt & pepper the chicken, both sides.
    3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Use tongs to transfer the chicken to the skillet and let it brown, about 3 minutes
  • Flip the chicken, then add the mushrooms and onion to the skillet. While the chicken continues to brown on the other side, occasionally stir the mushrooms and onion.

  • Add the artichokes, capers, and tomato sauce to the skillet. Stir until everything's incorporated in the sauce and the chicken is coated.

  • Turn the heat down to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 10 minutes.
  • Serve this Tuscan Chicken over your favorite pasta.

Notes

  • Even if you think you don't like artichokes or capers, I highly recommend making the recipe as written. Omitting ingredients will lead to a less flavorful dish.
  • Prefer a blush sauce? Add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce to turn this into a creamy tuscan chicken.
  • If using an alternative meat, like chicken thighs or pork chops, you may need to adjust the cook time. For example pork chops tend to cook quicker than chicken.
  • Looking to make this a fuller meal? Stir in some fresh baby spinach and let it wilt just before serving.
