Mediterranean Chicken

Inspired by our recent trip to Johnny Carinos, I concocted this new recipe for chicken.

I made this last night, just a serving for one. You could easily increase the quantities to make as many servings as needed.

1 Chicken breast - boneless, skinless
2 T olive oil
1 T flour
2/3 C white wine
1 stalk green onions, sliced
1/2 can artichoke hearts
1 can sliced black olives
2 t capers
1/2 tomato, coarsely diced
1 t Italian seasoning
cayenne pepper


Start by browning the chicken in the skillet with the olive oil. As chicken finishes cooking, remove chicken to a spare plate. Add the flour, and allow to brown slightly while stirring constantly. Throw in the green onions, and allow to cook for about a minute. Add the white wine, artichoke hearts, olives, capers, and tomatoes. Mix well, allow to come to a simmer. Add Italian seasoning. Return the chicken to pan and allow to simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. When finished, top with cayenne pepper to taste, and give a final mix to distribute the pepper evenly.

If you need some extra liquid while cooking (especially for large quantities), you could throw in some chicken stock.

You can eat this as is, or serve on top of some pasta. Really good stuff.
